Christopher Paul "Chris" Carruthers (born 19 August 1983) is an English semi-professional footballer who plays as a defender or a midfielder for Southern League Premier Division club Kettering Town.

Carruthers started his career with the Northampton Town youth system and he made his first team debut in 2001. He had loans with Hornchurch, Kettering Town and Bristol Rovers, joining the latter permanently in 2005 after making over 80 appearances for Northampton. His three seasons with the club included an appearance in the successful 2007 Football League Two play-off Final, which came before his release in 2008. He signed for Conference Premier team Oxford United and after one season was loaned to Crawley Town. He then joined Oxford's divisional rivals York City on loan and signed for them permanently in 2010.

After his release by York, Carruthers joined Conference Premier side Gateshead in 2011. He was released after one season with Gateshead, joining Hereford United before dropping down to the Southern League Premier Division with Corby Town in 2013. He was named the Players' Player of the Year in 2013–14 before joining Brackley Town of the Conference North. He rejoined Corby after their promotion into the National League North in 2015. He also represented the England national under-20 team and played at the 2003 Toulon Tournament and the 2003 FIFA World Youth Championship. He earned 11 caps for the team.

Club career

Northampton Town

Carruthers started his career progressing through the Northampton Town youth system.[1] He was named in the first team squad for the 2000–01 season, when Northampton were in the Second Division following their promotion.[3] He made his debut at the age of 17 as a half-time substitute in a 2–0 defeat to Port Vale on 26 April 2001 and his first start came in a 3–0 defeat to Walsall on 5 May,[4][5][6] finishing the season with three appearances.[7] He signed his first professional contract with the club on 9 April 2002.[1] He managed to score his first goal for the club with a "spectacular" long-range volley on 84 minutes in a 4–1 win against Wycombe Wanderers.[8] This season, 2001–02, Carruthers was able to make more of an impact, taking part in 14 games and scoring one goal.[9] He received the first yellow card of his career during a 2–2 draw with Cambridge United in the FA Cup second round on 7 December 2002.[10] During the 2002–03 season, he cemented his place in the first team, playing 38 games.[10]

He played for Northampton in a 3–0 defeat to Premier League team Manchester United in the FA Cup fourth round on 25 January 2004, in which he conceded a penalty kick after two minutes.[11] He signed a new contract with Northampton in February 2004, which would expire in the summer of 2006.[12] He finished the 2003–04 season with 31 appearances.[13] However, in the 2004–05 season, Carruthers fell out of favour at Northampton and he was made available to other clubs on loan.[14] He joined Conference South team Hornchurch on a one-month loan on 19 November 2004,[15] and after making his debut in a 2–1 defeat to Grays Athletic he finished the loan with four appearances.[16][17] He joined Conference North leaders Kettering Town, his hometown club, on a one-month loan on 21 January 2005.[18] His debut came in a 5–0 defeat to Southport and made one further appearance, completing the loan with two appearances before returning to Northampton.[17][19]

Bristol Rovers

After returning he only managed to play one game before being loaned out again on 24 March 2005, this time to League Two team Bristol Rovers, until the end of the season.[20][21] He made his debut two days later as a substitute on 79 minutes in a 2–1 victory at Notts County.[20] He stated his desire to stay at the club long-term in April 2005, saying "I do need a change, just to get myself going again really because it has been disappointing not playing."[22] He made his first start for the club in a 4–0 defeat at Scunthorpe United on 30 April 2005.[20] The loan expired in May after playing five times and he again expressed his desire to stay at the club.[20][23][24] Wycombe Wanderers agreed to sign Carruthers on a two-year contract on a free transfer on 16 June 2005 and Rovers manager Ian Atkins revealed his disappointment at not signing him, saying "He was high on my list. There are not many players who can play left-back, wing-back or as out-and-out wingers".[25][26] However, after speaking to Atkins and being guaranteed regular football, he decided to join Rovers instead on 29 June 2005.[27]

Carruthers scored for the first time in the 2005–06 season with the winning goal in a 1–0 victory at Grimsby Town on 10 December 2005 after scoring from a free kick on 80 minutes.[28][29] He was a regular at the Memorial Stadium after signing permanently, appearing in 45 matches and scoring once in his first full season at the club.[28] Ahead of the 2006–07 season, Carruthers said "We've got a good set of players and have proved that – especially away against some of the top sides. We're capable of getting results; we just need to get that consistency".[30] He played in an FA Cup fourth round game against Championship team Derby County on 27 January 2007, during which he cleared an Arturo Lupoli header off the line, although Rovers lost the game 1–0.[31] He played in both legs of Rovers' play-off semi-final victory over Lincoln City, which finished 7–4 on aggregate.[32] He played in the 2007 Football League Two play-off Final at Wembley Stadium on 26 May 2007, which Rovers won 3–1 against Shrewsbury Town, thus earning promotion into League One.[33] He finished the season with 54 appearances and he agreed a new one-year contract with the club in July 2007.[32][34]

Carruthers came on as a substitute on 76 minutes in a 2–2 draw at Premier League Fulham on 6 January 2008.[35] By February 2008, he had been dislodged at left back by Joe Jacobson, although he made a return to the team for a 2–0 victory over Cheltenham Town after Jacobson was unavailable for selection.[36][37] He made one more appearance before the end of the 2007–08 season, a 1–1 draw with former club Northampton on 12 March 2008, and he finished the season with 24 appearances.[37] He was released by the club on 14 May 2008.[38]

Oxford United

Carruthers playing for Crawley Town in 2009

He signed for Conference Premier team Oxford United on 4 July 2008,[39] with manager Darren Patterson describing him as "another great pro who has bags of experience considering his age".[40] He was placed on the transfer list in September 2008,[41] but was removed less than two weeks later.[42] He finished the 2008–09 season with 42 appearances.[43] Manager Chris Wilder said Carruthers was not part of his plans in June 2009.[44] He joined fellow Conference Premier team Crawley Town on a one-month loan on 28 August 2008,[45][46] after having made one appearance for Oxford up to that point during the 2009–10 season.[47] He made his debut as a substitute on 21 minutes in a 1–1 draw with Grays on 29 August 2009, nearly scoring after 11 minutes of being on the field after forcing a "top class" save from goalkeeper Preston Edwards, and this was followed by his first start in a 3–0 defeat at Luton Town on 1 September.[48][49][50] His first goal came with the opener in a 2–0 victory against Histon on 8 September 2009 with an "unstoppable shot into the top right corner".[48][51] He finished the loan period with seven appearances and one goal after it expired on 26 September 2009.[48][52]

York City

Carruthers joined Conference Premier club York City on a one-month loan on 28 September 2009 to provide competition for the left-side.[52][53] He made his debut in a 1–1 draw with Stevenage Borough on 3 October 2009,[54] after coming on as a 75th-minute substitute.[49] During November 2009, the loan was extended until 2 January 2010.[55] Carruthers scored his first York goal with the opening goal in a 2–1 victory over Wrexham on 5 December after heading in a Michael Rankine cross.[54][56] After the loan spell concluded, he was offered a one-and-a-half-year contract by York and was subsequently released by Oxford.[57][58] He signed for York permanently on 6 January 2010.[59] He scored in his first game after signing, opening the scoring in a 4–1 victory over Hayes & Yeading United on 16 January 2010, converting from a Richard Brodie cross.[54][60]

He picked up an ankle injury seven minutes into a 2–1 defeat to Salisbury City on 9 March 2010,[61][62] and made his return in a 1–1 draw with Tamworth on 27 March.[54][63] He played in both legs of York's play-off semi-final victory over Luton, which finished 2–0 on aggregate, and scored the goal in the 1–0 win in the second leg by converting the ball after goalkeeper Mark Tyler parried Rankine's free kick.[54][64] Following the match, he was hit by a coin with the York squad being forced to leave the ground through the back of a stand after having missiles thrown at them by a section of Luton fans.[65] He started in the 2010 Conference Premier play-off Final at Wembley on 16 May, being substituted on 73 minutes, which York lost 3–1 to Carruthers' former club Oxford.[66] He finished the season with 39 appearances and three goals for York.[54]

Carruthers playing for York City in 2010

Carruthers made his first appearance of the 2010–11 season in the opening game, a 2–1 defeat to Kidderminster Harriers on 14 August 2010, in which he was substituted in the 65th minute.[67][68] He suffered a knee injury in a 3–0 victory over Altrincham on 28 August 2010 and it was believed this would keep him out of the team for a month.[68][69] Carruthers made his return to the team as an 81st-minute substitute in a 2–0 victory at Kidderminster in the FA Cup fourth qualifying round on 23 October 2010.[67][70] His first start since August came in a 3–0 victory over League Two club Rotherham United in an FA Cup first round replay on 17 November 2010.[67] He scored his first goal of the season in the 87th minute of a 2–1 defeat at Darlington on 23 April 2011.[67][71] His season finished with 29 appearances and one goal and was released by York on 23 June 2011 after being told he could find another club.[67][72]

Gateshead

On 27 July 2011, Carruthers joined Conference Premier side Gateshead on a one-year contract.[73] He made his Gateshead debut on 13 August 2011 in a 3–2 away win Kidderminster.[2] Carruthers was released by Gateshead on 30 April 2012.[74]

Hereford United

He went on trial with newly relegated Conference Premier side Hereford United in July 2012, who were managed by his former York manager Martin Foyle.[75] During a pre-season friendly against Evesham United Carruthers clashed heads with teammate Greg Tindle and required seven stitches, with the match being abandoned.[75] He signed for the club on 20 July 2012.[76]

Later career

Carruthers signed for newly relegated Southern League Premier Division club Corby Town on 21 June 2013.[77] He scored five goals in 50 appearances for Corby in the 2013–14 season,[78] while they finished in 11th place in the Southern League Premier Division table.[79] He was the club captain that season and won the Players' Player of the Year award.[80]

Carruthers signed for Conference North club Brackley Town on a one-year contract on 7 July 2014.[81] Carruthers made 27 appearances in 2014–15[2] for a Brackley team that ranked 18th in the Conference North table.[82] He re-signed for Corby Town on 9 June 2015 following their promotion into the National League North.[83] Having made 14 appearances for Corby,[2] he was allowed to leave to seek regular football, and joined Southern League Premier Division team Kettering on dual registration on 13 November 2015.[84]

International career

He represented the England national under-20 team over a period of two years,[4] first being called into the squad for a game against Switzerland in November 2002.[85] Carruthers made his debut in this game, starting in a 2–0 defeat at home on 12 December 2002.[86] He played at the 2003 Toulon Tournament,[87] marking Cristiano Ronaldo when the team played Portugal, with Carruthers saying in retrospect "I did okay against him though."[88] He started in all four of England's game in the tournament, which they were knocked out of following a 1–0 defeat to Japan.[86] He was named in the squad for a friendly against the Czech Republic on 9 October 2003 and he entered the game as a half-time substitute before being forced to leave after around 60 minutes due to an injury.[89][90] He was selected in the squad for the 2003 FIFA World Youth Championship and he played in two of England's three games at the tournament.[91] He earned 11 caps for the team.[86][90][92]

Carruthers is left-footed and is versatile, being able to play as a left-back, left wing-back and left midfielder,[93][94][95] although he has stated his strongest position is at left-back.[96] He has also played in a more attacking role as a left winger.[97] He predominantly played as a left-back for Northampton and Bristol Rovers,[98] but on his arrival at York he was converted to playing in left midfield.[99]
