Garvan began his career in his native Ireland where he played for Home Farm as a schoolboy. He earned a move to England with Ipswich Town in 2004, where he helped his side to the FA Youth Cup Final in 2005. He made his professional debut in the 2005–06 season and went on to make 174 appearances for the club, scoring 15 goals. After falling out of favour under Ipswich manager Roy Keane, Garvan moved to Crystal Palace in 2010.
Garvan was a member of the Crystal Palace side that earned promotion to the Premier League in 2013 following a 1–0 win over Watford in the play-off final. He made a handful of Premier League appearances, but was eventually loaned out to Millwall during the same season, and then Bolton Wanderers the following season. When his contract expired after five years with Palace where he had amassed 87 appearances and 11 goals, he joined League One club Colchester United in August 2015. He played 53 times and scored twice for Colchester before leaving in April 2017. Garvan returned to his native country and joined Dublin-based side St Patrick's Athletic in July 2017. He spent one season there before leaving the club by mutual consent. Garvan announced his retirement from football in 2020 which was effectively backdated to 2018 meaning he had played his final match at the age of 30.
Garvan represented the Republic of Ireland at under-15, under-17, under-19 and under-21 levels. He scored four goals in 15 under-21 appearances between 2007 and 2010.<ref name="ROI">{{cite web|url=http://theprolounge.com/interview-with-owen-garvan |title=Interview with Owen Garvan |website=The Pro Lounge |access-date=10 September 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130828062944/http://theprolounge.com/interview-with-owen-garvan |archive-date=28 August 2013 |url-status=dead}}</ref>

Garvan's grandfather Con Martin was also an Irish international footballer who had the notable distinction of having been capped in every position for the team, including as goalkeeper. However, he turned down a move to Manchester United because Matt Busby wanted Martin to play in goal. Martin made over 190 league appearances for Aston Villa between 1948 and 1956. Another uncle, Con Martin Jr, was also a League of Ireland player.<ref name="wunderkind"/>
