Stuart Carrington is a two-time ranking event semi-finalist who has appeared in the televised stages of the World Championship on three occasions.
The cueist from Grimsby, England reached his first ranking event semi-final at the 2018 Riga Masters, losing to eventual champion Neil Robertson. Three years later, he matched this with a run to the last four of the 2021 Gibraltar Open – defeating the likes of David Gilbert and Xiao Guodong before narrowly losing out 4-3 to Jack Lisowski in the semi-finals.
As well as his semi-final runs, Carrington has also reached a further three ranking event quarter-finals and has qualified for the televised stages of the World Championship on three occasions, including 2017 when he became only the fifth player ever to have compiled three successive century breaks during his opening round match against Liang Wenbo.
Carrington first turned professional for a single season in 2011 before regaining his place at the 2013 EBSA Play-Offs. After falling off the tour at the end of the 2024/25 season, Carrington regained his professional status at the 2026 Q School by last defeating Yaron Bodor 4-1.
At amateur level, Carrington is a former winner of the English Amateur Championship (2013) and in 2006 defeated Scotland’s Anthony McGill to win Junior Pot Black at the Crucible Theatre.
