Enright grew up in the town of Kimba, South Australia and played for the Kimba District Tigers in the Eastern Eyre Football League. He was recruited from the Port Adelaide Magpies, selected by Geelong with the 47th overall pick in the 1999 National Draft.

Like many of his teammates, Enright was outstanding in 2007. He was among the Cats best in the Grand Final win over Port Adelaide, gathering 29 possessions.

The 2008 season saw Enright become a household name with his first All-Australian selection. He was again pivotal in the Grand Final, recording 25 disposals in the Cats’ 26-point loss to Hawthorn.

In 2009 after another superb season down back, Enright got his second All-Australian team selection, this time starting on the field. Enright was also voted by his peers to be the league’s most underrated player, as he had begun to make a name for himself as one of the league’s most reliable non-key defenders with his superb overhead skills and cool, calm head.

2010 saw a third successive selection in the All-Australian team in which he followed up with a fourth successive selection in 2011, the last three selections as a starting back pocket.
