During his college years Bennett also played with the Hamilton Thunder in the Canadian Professional Soccer League; he joined the Thunder in 2001 and remained with the team through the 2005 season.[2] In 2006, he spent the summer with the Palm Beach Pumas of the USL Premier Development League.[3]

In the fall of 2007, Bennett signed with the Chicago Storm of the Major Indoor Soccer League.[4] In 2008, he moved to the Richmond Kickers of the USL Second Division. He returned to the Storm, in the Xtreme Soccer League for the 2008–2009 season and then when the Xtreme Soccer League folded, he joined the Milwaukee Wave in the MASL.
Bennett played with Rochester Rhinos in the 2010 season, then re-joined Milwaukee Wave starting in the 2010-11 MISL season, then transitioned with the Wave to the MASL, where he has won multiple personal honors and a Championship with the team.
With the Milwaukee Wave taking a hiatus for the 2020–21 MASL season, Bennett joined Florida Tropics SC on a season-long loan.
