Quite simply one of the most talented players in the league, Carson joined Coleraine in 2004 after spells with Rangers, Dundee Utd, Hartlepool and Barnsley on the mainland. One of the first names on the team sheet (whether on left or right wing or up front) he is always liable to light up a game with a moment of magic. In the 2007/08 season he was the club’s top goalscorer and won numerous individual awards for his fine form.
