[1] His only first-team appearance for the "Valiants" came at right-back on 9 January 1974 in an FA Cup third round replay at Kenilworth Road, which was lost 4–2 to Luton Town. [1] He was handed a free transfer away from Vale Park by manager Roy Sproson in May 1975, and moved into the local non-League football.

He was signed by Northwich Victoria on a free transfer in May 1975 and moved on to Nantwich Town in November 1975, where he was a key member of the 1976 Cheshire Senior Cup winning squad.

He was back with Nantwich later that season but followed boss Colin Hutchinson to Droylsden in December 1979. Carr returned to Nantwich in December 1980, leaving in the summer of 1981, only to feature again for the Dabbers at the end of the decade. [2]
