[3] He played for his state at the AFL Under 18 Championships, averaging 16 disposals. [4] Narkle was drafted by Geelong with pick 60 in the 2016 national draft. [3] In June 2017, he ruptured his anterior cruciate ligament while training [5] and did not return until May 2018. Narkle played six Victorian Football League matches before his debut. [6] Commenting on Narkle's debut performance, coach Chris Scott said "we thought he was outstanding". [7]

Narkle is an Indigenous Australian, [8] distantly related to former Swan Districts, West Coast Eagles and St Kilda footballer Phil Narkle. [6] Narkle is also second cousin with former teammate, Sam Powell-Pepper.

Narkle was delisted by Geelong at the end of the 2022 season. After training with Richmond over the summer, he was overlooked for their last list spot and joined Essendon's VFL team. [9] He was then redrafted by Port Adelaide in the 2023 AFL mid-season draft at pick 11. [10]

After playing three games for Port during the remainder of the 2023 season, and 13 games in 2024, Narkle was again delisted at the end of the 2024 season. He was then selected by Fremantle after the 2024 draft in the Pre-season Supplemental Selection Period. [11]
