The left-footed Carey led from the front in all 12 games for the Swifts this season and took them agonisingly close to a finals berth.
He was named in his side's best players in every game apart from one.
2021 was Carey's 14th consecutive season for the Swifts (not including 2020). He commenced his senior career with the Baggies as an 18-year-old and has stuck with them through thick-and-thin and is one of their most identifiable players.
At Harrow-Balmoral the Close family's successful night didn't end with Simon and Michael, with Anthony earning himself 10 votes for his outstanding season.
