'''Brian Carney''' (born 23 July 1976) is an Irish professional [[rugby league]] commentator and former [[List of dual-code rugby internationals|dual-code rugby international]] player. He most recently played rugby league for
Carney is one of the presenters for Sky's coverage of [[Gaelic games]] which started in June 2014.<ref>{{cite web|url = http://www.independent.ie/sport/gaelic-football/sky-play-it-safe-with-bigname-analysts-30287224.html|title=Sky play it safe with big-name analysts|date=19 May 2014|work=Irish Independent|
==Early life==
Carney played [[Gaelic football]] for [[Valleymount GAA]] in west county Wicklow and won a junior championship medal in 1998 with the club. He also played rugby union at [[Clongowes Wood College]] and [[Lansdowne R.F.C.]] His first rugby league experience came with Irish amateurs [[Dublin Blues Rugby League|Dublin Blues]].

Line 121 ⟶ 128:
Carney played for Gateshead in the 1999 season and moved with them to [[Hull F.C.]] after the clubs merged in 2000.
Carney transferred from Hull F.C. to [[Wigan Warriors|Wigan]] at the end of the 2000 [[Super League]] season. He had come to the attention of the Wigan board – who were very impressed with him – when he scored a try against Wigan in Gateshead's Super League on the Road victory at [[Tynecastle_Park|Tynecastle]]. Future Wigan scrum-half [[Willie Peters]], also shone in the same match. Since making the professional ranks, Carney, who is a qualified lawyer,
Carney signed a new three-year contract with Wigan in May 2003, ending speculation that had been linking him with a move to Irish rugby union. After signing the deal, Carney commented: "I love it here at Wigan. I never wanted to play for any other club.
Despite a [[hamstring]] injury restricting his club appearances, Carney was selected in the [[Great Britain national rugby league team|Great Britain team]] to compete in the end of season [[2004 Rugby League Tri-Nations]] tournament. In the final against [[Australia national rugby league team|Australia]] he played on the wing in the Lions' 44–4 loss.
===National Rugby League===
In June 2005 Carney agreed to join new [[National Rugby League]] franchise team, Australia's [[Gold Coast Titans]], at the end of his Wigan contract. Upon signing the deal, Gold Coast managing director [[Michael Searle]] told NRL's official website, www.nrl.com: "The guy genuinely wanted to come here. He wants to challenge himself in the National Rugby League".
Carney was to remain at

==Rugby union==
On Thursday 15 March 2007, BBC Sport reported that Carney had signed for [[Munster Rugby|Munster]], switching to rugby union, with speculation rife that he would be fast-tracked onto Ireland's team for its tour of Argentina in summer 2007.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/rugby_union/irish/6456861.stm|work=BBC News|title=Carney swaps codes with Munster|date=15 March 2007}}</ref> Because he had walked out on his contract with the [[Gold Coast Titans]], Munster had to pay compensation to the Australian club to secure Carney's registration. Carney made his début for Munster,
Carney was selected in the Irish squad for the [[2007 Rugby Union World Cup]]. However, he did not make an appearance at the tournament.
Carney made a try-scoring début for the [[Barbarian F.C.|Barbarians]] against the [[Scarlets]] on 31 January 2009. He participated in the [[2009 Rugby World Cup Sevens|Dubai World Cup Sevens]] as part of a 12-man Irish squad, finishing up as joint top Irish try scorer with three tries. Though in a tough pool stage including Samoa, Australia and Portugal, they did manage to defeat Australia 24–21, with Carney getting a try. He scored two more tries in the Bowl semi-final victory over Hong Kong. They went on to lose 17–14 to Zimbabwe in the Bowl Final for an overall ranking of 10th, but by beating Australia showed that Ireland have the class to compete with the best.▼

==Return to rugby league==
On 2 June 2009, the [[Warrington Wolves]] announced that they had signed Carney for the remainder of 2009's [[Super League XIV]].
