Playing Career |
,%20Lee.jpg) |
Carsley began his playing career as a defensive-midfielder with
Derby County FC, whom he signed professional forms in 1992.
He remained with County until he joined Brian Kidd's Blackburn Rovers FC
on 23 March 1999 for a £3.375 million transfer fee. But left after
relegation, and then falling
out with the new manager, Graeme Souness, despite becoming club captain.
Coventry City FC signed him on 1 December 2000 in a £2½
million deal, but again, endured relegation. On 8 February 2002, Carsley
returned to the Premier League when Everton FC ended weeks of speculation
and signed him for a £1.9 million transfer fee, where as well as playing,
he worked on his Coaching Badges. He left Goodison Park after turning down
a contract extension on 19 May 2008. He signed with Birmingham City FC as
club captain a day later, effective 1 July, and earned his club a
promotion into the Premier League in his first season, but missed the most
of his second season because of injury. Carsley returned to Coventry City
FC as club captain on 23 July 2010 and remained for a
single season, after which he retired from playing. |
