Carl Anthony Regan (born 14 January 1980) is an English former professional footballer who played as a right-back.

Career

Regan, who is a right-back, began his career with Everton, but left after being offered a new one-year deal in 2000 without breaking into the first-team. He went on to play for Barnsley, Hull City, Droylsden and Chester City before joining Macclesfield Town in July 2006. At the Silkmen, he made over 60 appearances and scored once against Boston United.{{cite news|title=Boston United: 2006-07|url=http://www.sportsmole.co.uk/football/boston-united/2006-07/fixtures-and-results.html#$$nw2bdk&&3M9NpHAtEeWQKgpAkT3Uuw$$|accessdate=28 September 2015|publisher=sportsmole.co.uk|date=18 November 2006}}

On 31 January 2008 Carl left Macclesfield for League Two rivals Milton Keynes Dons for an undisclosed fee, rejoining ex-Macclesfield manager Paul Ince, as well as several former Silkmen players. His move came just two days after he had played against MK Dons for Macclesfield. At the Dons, he made nearly 50 appearances, scoring once against Lincoln City.{{cite news|title=Dons close in on Posh after win|url=http://www.mkd.vitalfootball.co.uk/article.asp?a=105625|accessdate=28 September 2015|publisher=mkd.vitalfootball.co.uk|date=4 April 2008|archive-date=4 March 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304095203/http://www.mkd.vitalfootball.co.uk/article.asp?a=105625|url-status=dead}}

On 5 June 2009 Regan signed a two-year deal at Bristol Rovers having rejected a new contract at MK Dons and made his debut in a 2–1 home defeat against Leyton Orient. Regan subsequently joined Notts County on a short-term loan deal on 23 February 2011, after failing to establish himself in the first team under new manager Dave Penney. He was one of seventeen players released by the team in May 2011.{{cite news |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/13477210.stm |title=Midfielder Jeff Hughes heads Bristol Rovers exodus |publisher=BBC Sport|date=23 May 2011 |accessdate=23 May 2011}}
