Playing career

Inter-county

Cartin was first called up to the Derry Senior panel in late 2000 ahead of the 2000–2001 National Football League. [2]

Cartin injured his knee in the first half of the 2007 Ulster Championship game against Antrim. [3] An MRI scan revealed he had torn his cruciate ligament and he missed the rest of the Championship. [4] The injury also effected the start of his 2008 season - missing the Dr McKenna Cup and the start of the National League. [4] He did however recover to make the bench for the last few group games of the League plus the final, which Derry won, beating Kerry in the decider. [5]

Cartin and Derry also reached the National League final in 2009, but were defeated by Kerry. [6] He missed the final due to injury. [7]
