He subsequently played in the Conference South, the Southern League and the Spartan South Midlands League for Berkhamsted Town, Bedford Town, St Albans City, Dunstable Town, Hemel Hempstead Town, Chesham United and Biggleswade United. After taking up coaching and dropping out of non-league football, he moved into Sunday league.
Stevenage Borough
Sarll began his coaching career with Conference side Stevenage Borough, serving as a coach in a variety of youth and reserve roles. During the 2006–07 season, he managed the youth team to the final of the Colwyn Cup, which was lost to Dunstable Town.
Brentford
Sarll joined League Two club Brentford as youth team manager prior to the beginning of the 2008–09 season. After the promotion of first team assistant manager Andy Scott to the full-time managerial post halfway through the season, Sarll also assisted Scott as first team coach and also became the first manager of the reformed reserve team in 2009. He left the club at the end of the 2010–11 season.
Rotherham United
Sarll followed Andy Scott to League Two club Rotherham United in August 2011, taking over the role of Head of Player Development. After Scott's sacking in March 2012, Sarll departed the Don Valley Stadium at the end of the 2011–12 season.
Return to Stevenage
Sarll returned to Stevenage, then having risen through the pyramid to League One, in June 2012. He held the role of Head of Youth until 2 June 2015, when he was promoted to first team coach after the appointment of Teddy Sheringham as manager. After the sacking of Sheringham on 1 February 2016, Sarll was named as caretaker manager. Five days later, Sarll's first match in charge resulted in a 1–0 League Two defeat to Crawley Town. After losing six of his first 9 games, Boro sought the services of Glenn Roeder to advise Sarll. After guiding Boro to an 18th-place finish, Sarll was given the manager's job on a permanent basis.
