Biography

Carver featured as a trialist multiple times prior to signing - playing Second Division games in April 1931, 1932 and 1933 before being signed permanently in May 1933 ahead of the new campaign.

He continued in a similar vein the following campaign, with only a brief spell out of the team due to injury just after New Year, however the following season he spent several months in and out of the team and despite featuring reguarly again from February 1936 onwards he was given a free transfer at the end of campaign. After leaving Gayfield, he went on to sign for East Fife and after four months at Bayview he moved on to Forfar Athletic where he had a similarly brief spell.
