Club career

[edit]

Carter was born in Dandenong, Victoria. He played youth football with Melbourne Phoenix and at the Genova International School of Soccer, finishing his development in Romania with CFR Cluj.[3][4]

In March 2013, Carter signed a senior contract with Cluj.[5] He made his Liga I debut for the club on 10 April 2015, as a late substitute in a 1–0 away loss against FC Universitatea Cluj;[6] during his spell at the Stadionul Dr. Constantin Rădulescu, however, he totalled only 81 minutes in the league.[4]

Carter then spent two seasons in the Portuguese third division with C.D. Trofense. He scored 15 goals in all competitions in the first.[7]

On 24 January 2018, Carter joined S.L. Benfica on a four-and-a-half-year deal, being assigned to the reserves in the LigaPro.[8][9] He scored his first goal as a professional on 7 April, opening the 1–1 draw at F.C. Penafiel.[10]

On 28 June 2019, Carter moved to Académico de Viseu F.C. of the same tier on a two-year contract.[11][12] The following 16 January, his 91st-minute strike helped the hosts defeat CF Canelas 2010 1–0 and qualify for the semi-finals of the Taça de Portugal.[4]

Carter returned to his homeland in July 2022 after more than a decade, agreeing to a deal at Macarthur FC from Thai League 1 side Bangkok United FC.[13] He scored his only goal in the A-League on 29 October, closing the 2–3 home loss against Sydney FC.[14]

In January 2023, Carter went back to Portugal and its division two, signing with U.D. Oliveirense.[15][16] On 12 January 2024, he netted twice in a 2–0 away win over Leixões SC, the first goal coming through a 53rd-minute penalty.[17]

Carter remained in that league in the 2024–25 campaign, joining newly promoted F.C. Alverca.[18]
