Carrière started his professional career at FC Nantes with whom he won his first Ligue 1 title in 2001. In 2001, he moved to Olympique Lyonnais where he won three more Ligue 1 titles in 2002, 2003 and 2004. In 2004 he signed with RC Lens. After Lens suffered relegation, he played for Dijon FCO after signing a two-year contract on 26 June 2008.[3]
Carrière was capped ten times and scored five goals for the France national team.[2] He gained his first international cap on 30 March 2001 in a 5–0 win over South Korea at Daegu Stadium during the 2001 FIFA Confederations Cup.[4]
Carrière was a skilful playmaker who was adept at taking free-kicks, penalties, and corners for his team, as well as scoring from the run of play, although he was primarily known for defence splitting passes.[citation needed]
