Carrington had to wait until 17 December 2011 for his debut for the Shakers against Brentford in a 1–1 draw. His good performance at Bury after making three more appearance for Bury soon earned a deal until the end of the 2011–12 season. On 21 April 2012, Carrington scored his first goal for the club in a 4–2 win over Notts County. After making 21 appearance and scoring once in his first season, Carrington signed a new one-year contract with Bury which will keep until 2013.
