A full Northern Ireland international, Carson arrived at St Mirren during the summer of 2022 from Dundee United for an undisclosed fee to replace Cardiff City bound Jak Alnwick as number one at the club.
The vastly experienced keeper had played over 350 club matches beforehand including spells at Sunderland, Hartlepool and Motherwell where he had previously worked with Stephen Robinson at Fir Park as well as a loan spell at Morecambe in 2022.
Carson is renowned for excellent shot stopping and handling under pressure and had an excellent first season at Paisley, following on from Jak Almwick and Vaclav Hladky to be considered one the best keepers at the club in the past 30-40 years.
However, after being rested in the final league match of that 2022/23 campaign to give Peter Urminksy rare game time in what was a meaningless match, Carson allegedly stated his unhappiness at the situation and asked for a transfer, eventually leading to the keeper being transferred to newly promoted Dundee on the 3rd August 2023 for an undisclosed 6 figure fee.
