In January 2005, goalkeeper Carson left Elland Road for Anfield, joining Premier League giants Liverpool for a reported £750,000.

He went on to make just nine first-team appearances for The Reds, before moving onto West Brom in July 2008 for £3.75m, after loan spells at Sheffield Wednesday, Charlton Athletic and Aston Villa respectively.

The Baggies proved to be a successful transfer for the now 31-year-old, including finishing as runners-up in the Championship in 2010, where he played 118 games for the Midlands outfit, the most appearances he has made for a single club in his career.

However, in July 2011, Carson completed a move to Turkish side Bursaspor for £2m and managed to pick up a runners-up medal for their Turkish Cup final run during his spell abroad.

But just over three years ago, Carson flew back to England to sign for Championship outfit Wigan Athletic for £700,000.

However, following the Latics’ relegation to League One, Carson was handed another shot in the second-tier of English football with Derby County in June 2015.

Since then, Carson has kept 28 clean sheets in 61 appearances for The Rams, including a shutout against Leeds back on October 15, where Johnny Russell scored the only goal of the game to inflict a 1-0 loss on Garry Monk’s men.
