During his time at Dundee, Carson was sent out on loan 7 times, usually as cover for injuries. His spell at Queen of the South was in the era of the likes of George Cloy. Carson took his first (& only to date) managerial position in October 2000, taking charge of his former club, Dumbarton, & lead the team to promotion to the Scottish Second Division in the 2001/02 season but left soon after.

In April 2002, Tom officially registered himself as a squad player to cover injuries but did not make any appearances.〔(The Scotsman )〕 Tom has not returned to football since the end of the 2001/2 season but has often been rumoured as returning to the job whenever the position becomes available.
