Carson signed professional terms during the 2004–05 season, where he was backup to Ben Alnwick for the final three games of the season.

He was recalled early in the January after a shortage of keepers due to injuries at Sunderland. He made his debut for Sunderland on 16 July, against Darlington in the 4–0 win for Sunderland. In 2009 with Craig Gordon out through injury, Steve Bruce urged Carson to push Márton Fülöp for the No.1 spot in the squad. He signed a new contract with Sunderland on 22 October 2009 which will keep him at the Stadium of Light until 2012.[5] He was loaned out to Lincoln City on 20 January 2011 until the end of the season.[6] He made his debut on 22 January against Stockport County in a 4–3 win.[7] The following season he was loaned out again in January 2012, where he went out on loaned for a month to Hull City.[8] After showing promise at Sunderland it still wasn't enough to stay at the Premier League side, and subsequently he was released on 19 May 2012.[9] After a short spell at the KC Stadium he was loaned out to Bury, where he made 9 appearances in Greater Manchester.
