Carl Baker is an English professional footballer who currently plays as a winger for Southport.
"A real talent with dazzling close ball control and an eye for goal. Already an England International under Paul Fairclough. Toured Botswana this summer with Middlesex Wanderers, last summer was in China. Was with Liverpool at schoolboy level, signed for Southport from Prescot Cables. Has been in excellent form recently and is attracting much interest."
Baker is a former Prescot Cables player who signed for the "Sandgrounders" in 2003. His best position is on the right wing, and helped Southport, in their Conference North Champions campaign in the 2004/2005 season. After helping keep Southport in the Conference National in the 2005/2006 season, he signed a full time contract, for the next year, whilst much of the relegation survival team left unable to make the transition to full time.
This season he has impressed for the 'Port, and has brought interest from Football League sides, such as Darlington FC, as well as Southport's local rivals, Morecambe F.C..
In 2005 he received a call up for the National XI England side, but unfortunately was recalled by Southport due to an FA Cup replay tie, however he was recalled again, and played for 45 minutes against Italy, before picking up an injury. He has toured with Middlesex Wanderers in 2005 and 2006, and received a driving ban in 2006 for drink driving.
