new arrival Ernie Dixon, who had arrived from Huddersfield Town for a fee of £300. Carmedy ended the campaign with 10 goals in 29 league matches as the team finished 19th in the league. The following season was a disappointing one for Nelson, as they finished bottom of the Third Division North and failed in their bid for re-election in the summer of 1931. In one the side's few victories, Carmedy scored the second hat-trick of his professional career in the 4–2 win against Accrington Stanley. The majority of Carmedy's appearances during the 1930–31 campaign were made at outside-right, and subsequently he scored fewer goals than he had in the previous season, scoring a total of 7 in 29 games. In March 1931, he was forced to play as a goalkeeper during a reserve match against Lancaster Town. In snowy conditions, he conceded four goals, although a match report in a local newspaper claimed that his performance was "nothing short of remarkable". Return to non-league Most of the Nelson players departed the club following their relegation to the Lancashire Combination in 1931. Carmedy stayed in the Third Division North, signing a deal with Barrow. During a solitary season at Holker Street, he made seven first-team appearances but failed to get on the scoresheet for the club. In October 1932, he returned to non-league football, joining Boston Town on a free transfer. He spent a year with the side, before moving to Northwood United, where he ended his career, in November 1933.
