Player Profile |

Carrigan may have been on City's books for a while - six-and-a-half years to be exact - but he was only ever a first-team regular for the club for one full season. Still, it was an important season as the centre-half proved to be a key cog in City's Second Division Championship success of 1925.
The Scottish defender started his professional career with the Foxes in 1923, making his debut a year later at Bury, and stayed until 1930 when he moved to South Yorkshire and Sheffield United.
Six years and only one of those as a regular first-team player pushed Carrigan's patience to the limits and, following the arrival of Roger Heywood in 1929, he requested a transfer. The top-flight Blades snapped him up before he went on trial with Southend, only to be denied a move with United demanding a fee. Carrigan returned to Leicestershire, however, when he finished his career as a right-back with Hinckley United. He appeared for them in the 1935 County Cup final.
