Dundee Football Club are excited to announce the signing of Goalkeeper Trevor Carson on a three-year deal.
The 35-year-old joins The Dee for an undisclosed fee from St Mirren.
The Northern Irishman came through the youth system at Sunderland. In his early career, he had loan spells at Chesterfield, Lincoln City, Brentford, Hull and Bury. He then made the permanent switch to Bury in 2012, making 44 appearances. Next was a season long-loan to Portsmouth, before racking up over 100 appearances across his time at Cheltenham and Hartlepool. Carson then made the move up to Scotland, making 57 appearances for Motherwell, and 4 appearances for Dundee United. He then returned to England on loan with Morecambe before coming back to Scotland with St Mirren.
On signing for The Dee, Trevor said, “It’s brilliant to be here, I am very grateful to the manager and everyone involved who has made this deal possible. It’s the old cliché but I can’t wait to get started. I had a great conversation with the manager and as soon as I came off the phone, I said I want to play for that man, he talked about the project and the plans he has got here. It helps that Joe (Shaughnessy) is here too, who I played with last season. Joe spoke very highly of the place and these things count massively in football.”
On the announcement of Carson, Dundee manager Tony Docherty said, “I am absolutely delighted to secure the signing of Trevor Carson who I regard as one of the best goalkeepers in the league. Last season when playing against him he had some outstanding performances and saves. He has got so much experience, he knows the league and I think he will bring a lot to the club. We have acquired a fantastic goalkeeper and professional. He like Joe (Shaughnessy) will help me and the coaches get our message across to the squad and he will help the young players both on and off the pitch. First and foremost Trevor is a top performer, a really good goalkeeper with Premier League experience, but also in terms of personality, work ethic, mentality, he is exactly everything we want to be at this football club.”
Welcome to The Dee Trevor!
