Carney joined Castleford Tigers on a two-year contract from the 2013 season. [8] 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." [8] 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.

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] where he joined Nyngan Tigers as captain-coach for 2019. [20]
