Career[edit]

Motherwell[edit]

Born in Bellshill, and a product of the Fir Park club's youth system, Carswell starred in the Motherwell under-19 side that finished second behind Celtic in the 2009–10 Scottish Premier League under-19 season. Carswell made his first team debut in the 0–0 draw against Hearts on 9 April 2011,[2] playing the full 90 minutes.

On 3 February 2012, Carswell signed a new contract, keeping him at Motherwell until 2014.[3] That was extended by a further year on 21 March 2013.[4] On 2 June 2015, Motherwell announced that Carswell was amongst the players leaving the club, with his contract having expired.[5]

St Mirren[edit]

Carswell signed a two-year contract with St Mirren on 29 June 2015.[6] He decided to leave St Mirren at the end of the 2015–16 season having made 24 appearances for the club.[7]

Keflavík[edit]

After leaving St Mirren, Carswell signed for Icelandic side Keflavík in July 2016,[8] making his debut in a goalless draw with Leiknir R.[9] Carswell left Keflavík at the end of the 2016 season wanting to progress his career back home.[10]

Dumbarton[edit]

Carswell joined Scottish Championship side Dumbarton on 5 January 2017.[11] After playing in every game following his arrival at 'The Rock' he signed a new deal in May 2017.[12] He scored his first goal in senior football for the club, in his 151st game, with a free-kick winner in a Scottish Cup tie against Elgin City,[13] his next goal also came in a 1-0 success, as he rifled in a 'magnificent' 25 yard strike against Alloa Athletic in the Scottish Championship playoff final.[14] Despite the club's relegation to Scottish League One Carswell signed a new one-year deal in June 2018.[15] He scored his first goal in league football, the third in a 4–0 victory against East Fife, in October 2018.[16] After impressing in both central midfield and central defence, Carswell was named Dumbarton's Player of the Year for the 2018–19 season.[17] He renewed his deal with the club in June 2019 where he was appointed club captain.[18] He made his 100th appearance for the club in August 2019.[19] He extended his deal for a fifth season with the club in July 2020.[20] Carswell extended his time at the Rock by another two seasons in June 2021.[21] He finished the 2021–22 season with seven goals to his name - a career best, as the Sons were relegated to Scottish League Two. He was replaced as the club's captain in June 2022 by Ryan McGeever.[22] Carswell scored the winning goal on his 200th appearance for the Sons, against Bonnyrigg Rose Athletic in September 2022.[23] Carswell was released by the Sons in May 2023 after six-and-a-half seasons and 224 appearances for the club.[24]
