Career Born in Rotherham, with the loan ending in September. He returned to the club on loan in December 2019, with that loan deal being extended in February 2020. In October 2020 he moved on loan to Brighouse Town, before signing on loan for Northern Irish club Portadown in January 2021.

After leaving Manchester United, in May 2021 he was linked with possible transfers to Sunderland, Brighton and Burnley, eventually signing for Sunderland in July 2021.

In August 2023 he returned to Manchester United on trial, but instead signed for Spanish club Castellón in September.

Carney signed for EFL League Two club Newport County in June 2024. Carney made his debut for Newport on 13 August 2024 in the 4–1 EFL Cup first round defeat to Leyton Orient. He made his football league debut for Newport on 12 October 2024 in the 1-0 EFL League Two defeat to Harrogate Town.
