On 10 October 2009, Puttick scored 104 not out for Cape Cobras against the Otago Volts in the 2009 Champions League Twenty20 and in doing so became the first ever batsman to score a century in Champions League T20 history. [4] [5] In the same month, he made 122 against the Highveld Lions in the inaugural match of the MTN 40. [6]

Puttick achieved the rare feat of scoring a century in his final first class innings in March 2018. [7]
