Todd Carney (born 2 June 1986) is an Australian professional rugby league footballer for the Salford Red Devils in the Super League. An Australian international and New South Wales State of Origin representative goal-kicking five-eighth, he previously played for the Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks, Canberra Raiders, Sydney Roosters, and Catalans Dragons, with whom he won the 2010 Dally M Medal. In 2008 while with Canberra Carney was de-registered as a player by the NRL for off-field misbehaviour. After a year living and playing in Far North Queensland, Carney returned to play in the NRL for the Sydney Roosters. Yet by mid-2011, Carney's alcohol-related off-field misbehaviours became widely known and he was released from his contract a year early, in September 2011. He was then picked up by the Sharks for the 2012 to 2017 seasons. Halfway through the 2014 season Carney was sacked by Cronulla for further off-field misbehaviour.
Carney played his junior rugby league for the Goulburn Stockmen, before being recruited to the Canberra Raiders junior academy at age twelve. Playing in the Jersey Flegg Championship, Carney's team were premier champions in 2003.
Carney made his National Rugby League premiership debut during the 2004 NRL season at the age of 17 and, after a handful of appearances, he was named the Canberra Raiders' rookie of the year. Canberra Raiders had signed Jason Smith and Sam Peez who, in 2005, helped shape Carney's game. Despite only playing 11 games with a single try, Carney was rewarded with a starting position in the Junior Kangaroos annual fixture against Papua New Guinea, where he tallied a record 20 points.
