Career

Carney began his career with the Canberra Raiders, scoring two tries on his debut in a 34–16 win over the Brisbane Broncos in June 2008.[6][7] He suffered a broken leg during a match against Gold Coast in July 2009, which ruled him out for the rest of the 2009 season and all the 2010 season.[8] Carney was nominated for the 2009 Ken Stephen Medal, acknowledging his strong community work.[9]

He signed a 2-year deal with the Sydney Roosters.[10] His first game for the Roosters was against the Wests Tigers on 3 April. He spent two seasons at the club, but played in just 17 games and failed to score a try in 2012.

Carney joined Castleford Tigers on a two-year contract from the 2013 season.[11] Coach Ian Millward said of him, "Justin will become a crowd pleaser with his robust running and dynamic style. No one will run the ball harder or faster in the Super League in 2013."[11] Carney scored 31 tries in 28 games for Castleford and, in April 2014, signed a new five-year deal up to the end of 2019.[12] However, he was suspended by Castleford in August 2015 and did not play again for the rest of the season.[13][14] He had scored 63 tries in 62 games since joining Castleford in 2013.[14]

Carney joined Salford Red Devils in November 2015 on a one-year loan deal,[14] which was converted to a permanent three-year deal in April 2016.[15] He received an eight-match ban in May 2017 after being found guilty of racial abuse and left Salford by mutual consent.[16][17]

After leaving Salford, Carney joined Hull Kingston Rovers for the rest of the 2018 season.[17] He retired at the end of the season and returned to Australia.[18][19]
