Career
Early career
Carayol trained as a teenager at the Damilola Taylor Centre in Peckham at the same venue as other professionals Daniel Johnson and Oluwafemi Ilesanmi. He also made appearances for his local youth football club, which is now named United AllStars FC.
Carayol began his career as a youth player with Swindon Town and when Paul Ince moved from Swindon to become manager of Macclesfield Town in 2006 he took Carayol with him as a trainee.[2]
Milton Keynes Dons
When Ince became manager of Milton Keynes Dons in 2007, he signed Carayol again,[3] offering him his first professional contract.[4] He made his first team debut for MK Dons against Sheffield United in the League Cup in August 2007 and went on to appear in one further cup game.[5]
In October 2007 he joined Crawley Town on loan to gain further first team experience.[6]
Torquay United
On 13 July 2008 He was signed by Torquay United.[7]
On 17 September 2009 he joined Kettering Town on a three month emergency loan deal.[8]
Lincoln City
Carayol turned down a new contract at Torquay at the end of the 2009–10 season. On 20 May 2010, it was announced that Lincoln City had agreed terms with the player although a fee would have to be set to determine how much compensation Lincoln City must pay Torquay due to Carayol being under the age of 24.[9] In August it was announced that a deal had been struck between the two clubs with Lincoln paying £35,000 over staged payments plus other clauses.[10]
In May 2011 he was made available for transfer by the club after a mass clear out of players following relegation from the Football League.[11]
Bristol Rovers
On 17 June 2011, Bristol Rovers signed Carayol for an undisclosed fee, on a two-year deal. He became an instant success with the fans for his dribbling,pace and skills. His performances in League 2 attracted the attention of Championship club Barnsley who had a bid turned down for him in January. In May 2012, Bristol Rovers confirmed they had turned down a 6 figure bid from an unamed Championship club for Carayol and had opened talks with him about extending his contract.
