Ray Carey (born 7 July 1986 Cork) is an Irish sportsperson. He plays Gaelic football with his local club Clyda Rovers and has been a member of the Cork senior inter-county team since 2009.
Carey plays his club football with his local club called Clyda Rovers.
Carey first came to prominence on the inter-county scene as a member of the Cork minor football team in 2004. He made his debut in the provincial semi-final against Waterford. Cork easily won that game and later qualified for a Munster final showdown with Kerry. That game ended in a 0-9 apiece draw. Carey was dropped for the replay which Cork lost by three points.
Two years later in 2006 Carey had established himself on the starting fifteen of the Cork under-21 team. He lined out in the provincial decider that year against Waterford, however, the Decies were no match for 'the Rebels'. A 4-14 to 1-6 touncing gave Cork the victory and gave Carey a Munster under-21 winners’ medal. Cork later maneuvered through the All-Ireland series and reached the All-Ireland final against Mayo. That game was a close affair, however, at the final whistle Cork were defeated by just two points.
In 2007 Carey was still a key member of the Cork under-21 team. He lined out in the provincial decider that year against Tipperary and a high-scoring and exciting game developed. Cork won by 3-19 to 3-12 and Carey added a second Munster under-21 winners’ medal to his collection. Cork later reached the All-Ireland final against Laois. Another close and exciting game of football developed as neither side took a decisive lead. Colm O'Neill and Daniel Goulding combined to score two goals and to help Cork to a narrow 2-10 to 0-15 victory. It was Carey's first All-Ireland winners’ medal at under-21 level.
