Born in Killyleagh, Northern Ireland, Carson started his youth career with Killyleagh Boys before moving to Sunderland in 2004. He signed his first professional contract with Sunderland in 2006 before several loan spells at Chesterfield, Lincoln City, Brentford, Bury and Hull City. He was released by Sunderland in 2012, re-joining Bury permanently. After two seasons with Bury, as well as a loan spell with Portsmouth, Carson signed for Cheltenham Town. Carson suffered relegation with Cheltenham despite winning the Player of the Year award. Subsequently, Carson would have a successful two seasons with Hartlepool United. He won the club's Player of the Year award with Hartlepool in his first season but was relegated in his second season. In 2017, Carson moved to Scotland, signing for Motherwell for an undisclosed fee. He spent four seasons with Motherwell, before shorter spells with Dundee United, Morecambe and St Mirren. Since 2023, Carson has played for Dundee.
Carson has represented Northern Ireland at senior and youth level. He received his first senior call up in 2010, but made his Northern Ireland debut in 2018. In total, he has been capped 8 times for the national side.
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. Later that year, with Craig Gordon out through injury, manager Steve Bruce urged Carson to push Márton Fülöp for the No.1 spot in the squad. He signed a new contract with Sunderland on 22 October 2009 which would keep him at the Stadium of Light until 2012. Throughout his Sunderland career, Carson continuously remained as the club's backup goalkeeper.
However, in the 2010–11 season, Carson suffered a shoulder injury during Sunderland's pre–season tour and saw him sidelined for several months. After showing promise at Sunderland, he was released by the Premier League club on 19 May 2012.
On 14 August 2008, Carson joined Chesterfield on a season-long loan deal. He made his professional début in a 1–0 victory against Grimsby Town keeping a clean sheet on 23 August 2008. Since making his debut for the club, Carson quickly established himself in the starting eleven, becoming Chesterfield's first choice goalkeeper. This lasted until he was dropped in favour of Tommy Lee. As a result, Carson was recalled by Sunderland early in January 2009 after a shortage of keepers due to injuries.
