Born on 3 September 1985 in Whitehaven, Cumbria, Carson grew up in Cleator Moor, where he attended Ehenside School.
Robinson left Leeds in May 2004 and Leeds signed Scottish international goalkeeper Neil Sullivan two months later to compete with Carson for a first-team place, and to help Carson develop and improve.
Carson's contract was due to expire at the end of the 2004-05 season but Leeds were keen to retain him and in December 2004 offered him a new long-term contract.
Carson joined Liverpool on a four-and-a-half-year contract and was to provide competition for Jerzy Dudek for a first-team place.
Carson made only four appearances in the 2005-06 season, all in cup competitions, and in March 2006, was allowed to move to Sheffield Wednesday on loan.

Carson made only four appearances in the 2005-06 season, all in cup competitions, and in March 2006, was allowed to move to Sheffield Wednesday on loan.
Wednesday sought his services to help solve their goalkeeping crisis, while Carson was looking to gain more first team experience and to challenge for a place in the England 2006 FIFA World Cup squad. He kept five clean sheets in nine appearances for Wednesday, whose assistant manager Kevin Summerfield hailed his contribution as a key factor in helping the club escape relegation.
In August 2006, Carson joined Charlton Athletic on loan for the 2006-07 season, after Charlton failed in a bid for Norwich City goalkeeper Robert Green.
Carson explained that "Liverpool want me to get some experience and then hopefully I can go back next season and be challenging Pepe [Reina] for the number one spot. There were a couple of Championship clubs interested but I need to be playing Premiership football because Robert Green, Ben Foster and Chris Kirkland are going to be playing week in, week out so I need to be performing." He played in 36 of 38 Premier League matches, missing only the two matches against Liverpool due to the terms of his loan deal.
Carson returned to Liverpool at the end of the season and in June 2007, Liverpool manager Rafael Benítez confirmed that he would be part of the first-team squad for the 2007-08 season, saying "He must fight with Pepe Reina now for a starting place." Carson remained second choice to Reina and faced further competition following the signing of Charles Itandje in August 2007; as a result, Carson was loaned out again, this time to Aston Villa at a cost to Villa of £2 million.

Benitez said of the deal, "We do not want to sell him, we are very happy with Scott. But he needs to play to keep up his England place." Aston Villa manager Martin O'Neill preferred Carson to Thomas Sørensen and Stuart Taylor, and Carson played in all but three of Villa's 38 league matches, missing the two matches against Liverpool as he was ineligible to play, and kept 11 clean sheets during the 2007-08 season.
Carson returned to Liverpool at the end of the 2007-08 season but in July 2008 joined West Bromwich Albion on a four-year contract for a £3.25 million fee, possibly rising to £3.75 million, with an option for the club to extend the contract by another year.
Carson, who had played for five different clubs since making his debut for Leeds in 2004, explained that he wanted to get settled at one club, saying "I've been like a nomad for three or four years. It'll be good to get some roots and hopefully settle. I can see myself here for four or five years, even longer." He made his debut in a 1-0 defeat to Arsenal in the opening match of the 2008-09 Premier League season.
Despite relegation to the Championship, Carson kept his first team place and after the departure of captain Jonathan Greening he was given the captaincy.

West Bromwich Albion won promotion back to the Premier League, finishing second, 12 points clear of third place Nottingham Forest with Carson keeping 15 clean sheets out of 43 matches.
He had been playing regular football for the Midlands club, but in the 2010-11 season, his form seemed to dip and in January 2011, Carson was briefly dropped to the bench for Welsh goalkeeper Boaz Myhill.
On 1 July 2011, Carson completed a move to Turkish Süper Lig club Bursaspor for a £2 million fee.
Carson joined Wigan Athletic for £700,000 on a three-year deal on 4 July 2013.
After Wigan's relegation to League One, Carson signed a two-year deal with Championship club Derby County with an option for a third year.

Carson signed for reigning Premier League champions Manchester City on 8 August 2019 on loan for the 2019-20 season, as the third-choice goalkeeper behind Ederson and Claudio Bravo.
During the match, Carson saved a Joe Willock penalty but let in the rebound after the ball fell kindly back to Willock.
Carson was first called up to the England under-21 squad in October 2003, a month after his 18th birthday, for the 2004 UEFA European Under-21 Championship qualifier against Turkey.
At the time he was yet to make his competitive debut for Leeds United's first team, and had previously played only four matches for England at other levels.
Carson has since been overtaken by James Milner as the England Under-21 team's most-capped player.

In May 2005, while still a member of the under-21 team, Carson was called up to the England senior team squad for the team's tour of the United States later that month.
A year later, he came on as substitute for Robert Green, who had suffered a serious injury, in the England B international friendly against Belarus in May 2006.
The injury to Green, who had been named in the England squad for the 2006 FIFA World Cup, led to Carson, who was on standby, being promoted to the England squad for the tournament, although he did not make any appearances.
Carson continued to be selected for the England senior team squad, and in May 2007, made his second appearance for the England B team in a 3-1 win over Albania.
Following the 2007 UEFA Under-21 Championships, he made his full England debut in a friendly against Austria in November 2007 when he kept a clean sheet.
A week later, he made his competitive debut replacing Paul Robinson in a crucial match against Croatia, which England lost 3-2, resulting in their failure to qualify for UEFA Euro 2008.
Carson was held particularly culpable for the first goal, when Niko Kranjčar cut inside and his dipping speculative shot from 30 yards dipped and bounced in front of him, with Carson only succeeding in parrying the ball into the net as it squirmed through him.
England coach Steve McClaren was dismissed the next day, as commentators criticised McClaren for selecting an inexperienced goalkeeper for the match.
New manager Fabio Capello named Carson in his first England squad for the friendly match against Switzerland in February 2008, but the goalkeeper did not make the final squad for the match against France the following month due to injury.

After failing to make Capello's squads for the next five internationals, Carson was recalled to the England squad in October 2008 for the 2010 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Kazakhstan and Belarus.
In doing so he became the first West Bromwich Albion player to play for England for 24 years.
