Desmond Joseph Carrick (2 September 1919 – 30 May 1999) was an Australian international rugby union player.
Carrick was born in Sydney and educated at St Joseph's College, Hunters Hill, where he captained the first XV.[1]
A Gordon player, Carrick had a quick rise to representative rugby, making his New South Wales debut at the age of 19, then earning a place on the Wallabies squad for the 1939–40 tour of Britain and Ireland, with the young centre preferred over veteran Cyril Towers.[2] The tour was cancelled due to World War II, soon after the team arrived in England, but he did get the opportunity to represent Australia against the Gymkhana XV during a stopover in Bombay on the trip home.[1]
Carrick served in the army during the war and reached the rank of Lance Sergeant. He considered signing with rugby league club Newtown, but continued as a rugby union player after the war, before retiring in 1946.[3]
