Career

Born in Tamworth, Cartwright played for his hometown club, Tamworth, in two stints, both coming either side of a brief spell with Colchester United. Cartwright joined Colchester in the summer of 1988, making his debut on 27 August of the same year in a 1–0 home victory over York City. He made ten league appearances in total for the U's and appeared in his final game just under two months later, in a record Football League defeat for Colchester as they were defeated 8–0 at Leyton Orient. The result cost manager Roger Brown his job and Cartwright never appeared for Colchester again, returning to Tamworth for the remained of the 1988–89 season.

On his return to Tamworth, he aided the club to the final of the FA Vase, playing Sudbury Town at Wembley on 7 May 1989. The match ended in a 1–1 draw, with Tamworth winning the replay the following Wednesday by 3–0 at London Road, Peterborough.
