Carmont was educated at De La Salle College, Mangere East.
The Samoan captain was expected to join either Harlequins RL or Wigan for the 2008 season with the latter seen as the more likely destination after the London side seemingly agreed a deal to sign David Vaealiki before the centre was confirmed as a new signing for Manly.[2][3] On 27 November 2007, it was announced that Carmont had signed a two year deal with European Super League club Wigan Warriors.[4] Carmont was named in the Super League Dream Team for the 2008 season.[5]
Carmont played for Wigan in the 2011 World Club Challenge against 2010 NRL premiers, the St. George Illawarra Dragons and scored two tries, but it was not enough to gain his side the victory.
The 2011 season for Wigan started with a Magic Weekend match against St Helens RLFC, in which Carmont scored one try.[6] He followed this up with another try against Bradford Bulls in Round 2 late in the match.[7] His next score was made in a loss against Catalans Dragons in Round 8, before touching down a week later against Hull Kingston Rovers in Round 9.[8][9]
On 3 November 2011 The annual RLIF Awards dinner was held at the Tower of London and Carmont was named Samoa player of the year.[10]
Carmont was selected in the Samoa squad for the 2008 Rugby League World Cup.[11] He appeared in three matches for Samoa and scored two tries. He is eligible for the United States national rugby league team through his American Samoan heritage.[12]
George Carmont was selected for the Exiles squad for the Rugby League International Origin Match against England at Headingley on 10 June 2011.[13]
