The Norwegian international started out at Valerenga in Norway in 1998. He also played for Rosenberg in his two years in Norway before enjoying his big break by getting a transfer to Spanish giants Valencia.

Carew won two La Liga tiles whilst with the Spanish club and also appeared in a Champions League final where they were beaten on penalties by Bayern Munich.
Carew spent three years at Valencia before moves to Roma (loan), Lyon and Besiktas prior to getting a move to the Premier League. Carew joined Aston Villa in 2007 but it was during this time in his career that controversy would follow him. He was spotted in a Birmingham nightclub hours before an important UEFA Cup tie and was subsequently fined and dropped by manger Martin O’Neill. He spent three seasons as a Villa player employee before going on to play for Stoke City (loan) and present club West Ham United.
Carew has also had a long successful international career. He has represented Norway 91 times since making his debut in 1998, scoring 24 times
