He plays in the centres or as a winger and has represented the New South Wales Schoolboys.[1] Carney scored two tries on debut in a 34–16 win over the Brisbane Broncos.[2] He has no relation to former Raiders' halfback, Todd Carney.

In round 17 of the 2009 NRL season against the Gold Coast Titans he suffered a fracture to both his tibia and fibula during a tackle.[3] He could not play for the rest of the year and missed the entirety of the 2010 season.
