On Christmas Eve 2004, Livesey signed for Carlisle United, who were then in the Conference and since joining has played a major part in the club's rise to League One and in August 2007, signed a contract extension until 2010.[2] Livesey was named in the League One 2007–08 team of the year. He was also awarded the captaincy due to Paul Thirlwell's injury problems. On 4 June 2012, Livesey signed a new 1-year deal with Carlisle United with the option of a further year.

Following the departure of Simon Grand at the end of the 2015–16 season Livesey was made the club captain, but was released when his contract expired at the end of 2016–17.[4]
Salford City

Chester (loan)
