Cherrett was born in Christchurch.[1] A centre forward who could also play as an inside forward,[2] Cherrett turned professional with Portsmouth in 1920, having started his career with Boscombe.[1][3] He scored 36 goals in 67 league appearances before losing his place in the team after three seasons.[1][3] He was transferred to Plymouth Argyle in the summer of 1923 and continued to score goals regularly.[3] Cherrett was the club's top goalscorer in his first season with Argyle, scoring 27 goals in 41 matches, and he scored nine more in 21 games the following season.[2][3] The arrival of Jack Cock in 1925 saw Cherrett lose his place in the side and he was sold to Crystal Palace later that year.[3][4]
