Injury Forces Former Ross County Goalkeeper to Retire

Ross County's loanee goalkeeper Trevor Carson has announced his retirement from football due to a knee injury. The 38-year-old, who played 32 times for the club, including 29 in the Championship, has decided to hang up his gloves.

What Happened?

Carson, who signed for Queen of the South last month, informed manager Nicky Clark of his decision to retire due to the injury. Clark, who played for Ross County last season, expressed his disappointment at the news, saying: "It is a massive blow to both Trevor and us that he has had to retire. He has had a great career and the experience he would have brought made him an unbelievable signing."

Why It Matters for Ross County

Carson's retirement comes as Ross County prepares for the new season, currently sitting 10th in the Championship with 34 points from 36 games. The club has scored 36 goals and conceded 57, with a recent form of LWWLL. Carson's experience would have been valuable in the upcoming season, but his retirement leaves a gap in the squad.

What Comes Next?

Ross County will need to find a replacement for Carson, with Clark already on the lookout for a new goalkeeper. The club's next match is yet to be announced, but they will be looking to improve their recent form and climb the Championship table.

As of now, Ross County is 43 points behind leaders ST Johnstone, and their last result was a 3-2 loss to Raith Rovers on May 1, 2026. The club's recent form has been inconsistent, with three wins and two losses in their last five matches.
