After six appearances, he signed a permanent deal, making a total of 24 appearances during the 1991–92 season, though Stockport would be denied promotion to the second-tier after defeat to Peterborough United in the 1992 Division Three playoff final. Carstairs made 23 appearances during the 1992–93 season and scored two goals. He largely failed to figure during the 1993–94 season, making just one Football League Trophy appearance.
