Career

Crewe Alexandra

Mark Carrington is a product of the renowned Crewe Alexandra youth system, joining their Academy at the age of 7. He represented Crewe at every age group level and played a key part in the under 18 team that reached the semi finals of the F.A. Youth Cup in 2004. He was loaned out to Leigh RMI in the 2005-06 season playing a holding midfield role and impressed enough to be awarded his first professional contract with Crewe in the summer of 2006. Following a successful loan spell at Kidsgrove Athletic, scoring 9 goals in 20 appearances from midfield, he broke into Crewe's first team towards the end of his first season as a professional. Carrington made a handful of appearances the following season and saw a more regular place in the team with the arrival of new manager Gudjon Thordarson in the 2008–09 season, and managed to score his first two goals for the club as a professional. One of those goals being against his future club MK Dons in March 2009, and from that game Carrington earned praise from Steve Claridge in his Scouting Report for the Guardian.[1] Having missed the last few games of the season with an injury Carrington left the club when his contract expired in June 2009.

Milton Keynes Dons

On 21 July 2009, Paul Ince signed Mark Carrington on a two year contract for Milton Keynes Dons. After scoring in the pre-season friendly against Rushdon & Diamonds, Carrington scored his first league goal for MK Dons against Colchester Utd in August 2009. As the season progressed his game developed under the guidance of Ince, and although his starts were limited, he continued to impress when selected, and earned particular praise from the former England midfielder after scoring twice in the 3-1 win against Southend in February 2010.[2] With the replacement of Ince by Karl Robinson in the summer of 2010,and the arrival at MK of former England Assistant Manager John Gorman, Carrington continued to improve under John's guidance. Chances were limited however at the beginning of the season due to the signing of Dietmar Hamann . But the departure of Alex Rae to Notts County at the end of Oct 2010 saw Hamann move more into coaching, and Carrington featured in more games, helping Dons to their first away win of the season at Brentford in mid November. Hamann quoted at the time 'one of the reason's for me taking a step back from playing was Mark Carrington's form, it was harsh leaving him out, so my move to coaching has given him a chance to play on a more regular basis and he has been excellent'. However with the return of Gleeson from injury, Carrington again found his chances limited and decided to leave MK Dons in the January transfer window, but not before scoring for them after coming on in the 81st minute against Dagenham & Redbridge to earn MK a 1-0 win and three vital points towards their push for promotion. In a bid to play more regularly Carrington opted for a chance to play in the Scottish Premier League until the end of the season, where he put in some good performances against Celtic and Rangers.

Hamilton Academical

On 1 February 2011, Carrington joined Hamilton Academical for four months until the end of the season, after leaving the Dons by mutual consent.[3] [4]
