He was a member of the Geelong 2007, 2009 and 2011 Premiership teams.
As a reward for his excellent 2008 season, he was awarded with his first All-Australian team selection. In 2009 after another superb season down back he got his second All-Australian team selection,this time starting on the field. He 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 which he followed up with a fourth successive selection in 2011,the last three selections as a starting back pocket.
As a junior, Enright played for the Kimba District Tigers in the Eastern Eyre Football League on the Eyre Peninsula, South Australia.
At Geelong he also won his two Club Best and Fairest "Carji Greeves" Medals in the Premiership Years 2009 & 2011. He joins an elite AFL group who won multiple Club Best and Fairest Medals in Premiership years. This group includes Leigh Matthews, Kevin Bartlett, Jason Dunstall, Simon Black, Michael Voss, and Gary Ablett Junior.

Famous quotes containing the word career:
“I seemed intent on making it as difficult for myself as possible to pursue my “male” career goal. I not only procrastinated endlessly, submitting my medical school application at the very last minute, but continued to crave a conventional female role even as I moved ahead with my “male” pursuits.”
—Margaret S. Mahler (1897–1985)
“It is a great many years since at the outset of my career I had to think seriously what life had to offer that was worth having. I came to the conclusion that the chief good for me was freedom to learn, think, and say what I pleased, when I pleased. I have acted on that conviction... and though strongly, and perhaps wisely, warned that I should probably come to grief, I am entirely satisfied with the results of the line of action I have adopted.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
“A black boxer’s career is the perfect metaphor for the career of a black male. Every day is like being in the gym, sparring with impersonal opponents as one faces the rudeness and hostility that a black male must confront in the United States, where he is the object of both fear and fascination.”
—Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
