Cartin was first called up to the Derry Senior panel in late 2000 ahead of the 2000/2001 National Football League.[2]
Cartin injured his knee in the first half of the 2007 Ulster Championship game against Antrim.[3] A MRI scan revealed he had tore his cruciate ligament and he missed the rest of the Championship.[4] The injury also effected the start of his 2008 season - missing the Dr. McKenna Cup and the start of the National League.[4] He did however recover to make the bench for the last few group games of the League plus the final, which Derry won, beating Kerry in the decider.[5]
Cartin and Derry also reached the National League final in 2009, but were defeated by Kerry.[6] He missed the final due to injury.[7]
Loves calling himself Doubles Carty and drinking vodka, and telling jokes about Paddy Og McGillaforrig.
