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.[2][3]
In March 2013, Carter signed a senior contract with Cluj.[4] 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;[5] during his spell at the Stadionul Dr. Constantin Rădulescu, however, he totalled only 81 minutes in the league.[3]
Carter then spent two seasons in the Portuguese third division with C.D. Trofense. He scored 15 goals in all competitions in the first.[6]
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.[7][8] He scored his first goal as a professional on 7 April, opening the 1–1 draw at F.C. Penafiel.[9]
On 28 June 2019, Carter moved to Académico de Viseu F.C. of the same tier on a two-year contract.[10][11] 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.[3]
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.[12]
