Workington reserve team manager, Stuart Rome, left the club in 2008 to take charge of the newly formed Gretna 2008, with Carmichael following him to the East of Scotland Football League club.[5] As well as featuring for the East of Scotland Select team whilst at Gretna, Carmichael was also called into the England Colleges squad.[6]
