Shaun Carey

Norwich Career: 1995-2000 (76 apps)

Current Club: The Urchins

Date of Birth: 13/05/1976

Nationality: Irish

Biography

A former Republic of Ireland Under 21 international, Shaun Carey did not make the breakthrough that he would have liked. He made his debut in September 1995 against Torquay in a League Cup tie and was later the target of a double bid by Leicester's Martin O'Neill for him and Darren Eadie. However his career never recovered from an Achilles injury sustained at Stockport in the 1998/99 campaign. Throughout the 1999/2000 season transfer speculation was plentiful as his contract was expiring in the summer of 2000 and Norwich were reluctance to open talks. Teamtalk reported that Shaun's agent Neil Featherby had been speaking to Dundee whilst Teamtalk speculated that West Brom, Crewe, Walsall, Port Vale, Bristol Rovers, Preston, Millwall, Burnley and Gillingham were all interested. Shaun was finally released on Tuesday 25th April 2000. He had made 76 appearances for the first team.

 

Teamtalk speculated on 14th June 2000 that Carey might face the Canaries next season with their Division One rivals Stockport and Tranmere interested in signing the Irish midfielder. Walsall were also keen but Shaun stated that he preferred not to drop into Division Two. Carey joined Gillingham on trial in July 2000 but was not deemed to be what they were looking for. He left Kent and immediately had a trial with Bristol Rovers, playing in their friendly against Yeovil on 25th July 2000. After another unsuccessful trial at Chesterfield, Shaun ended up in late August 2000 trialling for non-leaguers Rushden & Diamonds who signed him permanently

 

Shaun returned to league football in August 2001 as Rushden had secured the Conference title on May 1st when closest challengers Yeovil lost 3-2 at Hereford.

 

In December 2001, Shaun joined Stevenage on a month's loan with a view to a permanent switch. He had made only 7 appearances for the Diamonds in Division Three. On his return, Rushden and Carey agreed to part company in February 2002 and Shaun opted to join Conference side Chester City. Chester finished in the bottom half of the Conference in 2001/02 but had a better 2002/03 with Carey forming a strong midfield partnership with former Norwich triallist Michael Twiss. The same partnership helped Chester to the Conference championship and thus promotion into the Football League in April 2004. However this success had a sting in its tail as Chester manager Mark Wright doubted whether Carey could perform at the higher level and so released him and teammate Chris Lane.

As opposed to the players at this level with just the one foot? <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
