Career
Carver began his career at his hometown club Rotherham United and after establishing himself in the squad he was signed by Jimmy Scoular, then manager of Cardiff City for a fee of £11,000 in January 1966. He made his debut in a 1-1 draw with Bury and eventually formed a strong full back partnership alongside Gary Bell. His only league goal for the club came on 17 October 1970 during a 2-2 draw with Leicester City. After spending six years at Cardiff he was loaned out for a short period at Swansea City before being allowed to leave and join Hereford United in 1973, where he spent one year before finishing his playing career at Doncaster Rovers.
