Todd Carney

Who is Todd Carney?

Todd Carney is an Australian professional rugby league footballer for the Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks of the NRL. An Australian international and New South Wales State of Origin representative goal-kicking five-eighth, he previously played for the Canberra Raiders and Sydney Roosters, 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 season.
