He was retained by Boston for 2001, but 2002 saw him signed up by the Newport Wasps for their Premier league team, where he recorded a very respectable 4.35 average in his first season. He improved that figure to 4.95 in 2003. He recorded a 4.82 average in 2004 but was forced out of their line-up in 2005 due to the points limit.
No other Premier League signed him up at the start of the 2005 season so Carl rejoined the Barracudas in the Conference League. His form did not go unnoticed by the Berwick Bandits and in June was signed up to ride for the rest of the season. He also made his top flight debut as a guest for the Ipswich Witches in the Craven Shield.
2006 saw Carl return his parent club Newport and finished second in their team averages on 6.99. He was snapped up by the Newcastle Diamonds in 2007 and finished the season with an average of 6.32. He also made nine Elite League appearances for the Wolverhampton Wolves, recording an average of just over three.
The Scorpions signed Carl on a full transfer from Newport for their maiden Premier League season and are certain he has the ability to improve on his average in 2008.
