A forward who debuted with SANFL side Norwood in 1992, Pitt was recruited by Collingwood in 1996. He kicked 11 goals in three weeks mid-season, but decided to return to his job as a police officer in South Australia in early 1997. After a change of heart, Pitt nominated for that year's pre-season draft. Despite his manager suggesting he'd prefer to join a club outside of Melbourne, Pitt was selected by the Western Bulldogs. He opted to remain in Adelaide, playing in a premiership for Norwood.
After capturing their 1999 Best and Fairest, Melbourne offered Pitt his third chance at league footy. He returned to Victoria, but after a delayed start to 2000 due to a shoulder injury, the now 26-year-old only played three matches. He showed promise in VFL games but couldn't establish himself in the side. At the end of the season he returned to Norwood, before joining Salisbury North in 2003. He also played for the South Australian police side, amateur side Tea Tree Gully, and for Renmark in 2012.
