Carl Ronald Joseph Magnay (born 20 January 1989) is a professional footballer who plays as a defender for League Two club Hartlepool United. Due to having Northern Irish grandparents, English-born Magnay is eligible to represent Northern Ireland or the Republic of Ireland. He made his international debut the Northern Ireland U-21 team on Tuesday 11 August 2009, in an away friendly against Portugal's U-21 team.

Born in Gateshead, Tyne and Wear, Magnay was the winner of the second series of the Sky One talent search Football Icon. Prior to this Magnay was part of Leeds United's academy. On 30 July 2007, ChelseaTV Online conducted an interview with Magnay, where it was revealed he had signed professional forms with the club.

In January 2009 he was loaned to League One team Milton Keynes Dons. He made his debut for the Dons on 31 January against Cheltenham Town. He made only one other appearance and in total played 7 minutes for MK. On 9 March 2009 Magnay was signed by Northampton Town on a one-month loan deal. He made his debut in the 1–0 defeat at Millwall.

In pre-season ahead of the 2009-10 Premier League campaign, Magnay was a part of the Chelsea Reserves team that took part in a training ground brawl with United Arab Emirates side Al-Ahli.

In March 2010 Magnay suffered a serious injury in a reserve team game against Charlton Athletic, damaging his anterior cruciate ligament, medial collateral ligament and cracking his kneecap.
