Carson had been with Manchester City since 2019, but played just 107 minutes in two appearances. During his time at the Etihad, Carson won 12 honours including a historic treble of the Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League in 2023.
A native of Whitehaven, Carson was a product of the Leeds academy and made his senior debut for the team in January of 2024.
He would continue on for 21 seasons, also spending time with Liverpool, Sheffield Wednesday, Charlton Athletic, Aston Villa, West Brom, Bursaspor, Wigan and Derby.
Internationally, Carson was capped four times by England and was a part of the Three Lions’ squad at the 2006 World Cup in Germany.
Carson’s 19-year-old son, centre-back Hayden Carson, currently plays for Chester, on loan from Wolves.
