Club Career
Sunderland
Born in Downpatrick, Northern Ireland, Carson began his football career at Killyleagh Boys before he joined Sunderland in 2004. He then progressed the ranks at the club's youth system. Carson then became a backup to fellow teenager Ben Alnwick for the final three games of the campaign. As a result, he signed professional terms with Sunderland and then signed a one–year contract extension the following year.
Ahead of the 2006–07 season, Carson made his Sunderland debut on 16 July 2006 in a friendly match, coming on as an 80th-minute substitute, in a 2–0 win against Rotherham United. He continued to remain as the club's backup goalkeeper behind Alnwick and then Darren Ward. At one point, Carson missed one match, due to family bereavement.
He made his debut for Sunderland on 16 July, against Darlington in a 4–0 win.
