Early career

After being released by the Reading academy,[2] Carr dropped down to the Conference South with Eastbourne Borough before joining Dulwich Hamlet in 2012, and scored 25 goals in the season, which led him to being scouted by many higher-level clubs including Chelsea and Liverpool.[3][4] Carr also previously went on trial at Liverpool, Leeds United, Charlton Athletic.[5]

On 2 February 2015, Carr joined League Two side Dagenham & Redbridge on loan for the rest of the season.[21] Carr made his Dagenham & Redbridge debut five days later, coming on as a substitute for Alex Jakubiak in the 81st minutes, in a 2-0 win over York City.[22] Carr went on to make six appearance for the club.
