Early life
Born in Canada, is of Jamaican and Guyanese descent through his parents.[1] Carter played youth soccer with the Edmonton Drillers, followed by the FC Edmonton Academy, before joining the Vancouver Whitecaps Academy in early 2017.[2][3] He signed with the Whitecaps' developmental squad in June 2018 and attended pre-season camp with the first team in 2018 and 2019.[2][4] He then departed the Whitecaps in the fall of 2019 and returned to Edmonton.[5]
University career
In 2021, Carter began playing for the men's soccer team at MacEwan University, where he was already enrolled as a student.[6][7] He helped the team achieve their first Canada West playoff berth in his first season, however, he spent the majority of 2022 dealing with an injury that limited his playing time.[8]
Club career
In February 2020, Carter signed a professional contract with FC Edmonton of the Canadian Premier League.[9][10] In his first professional season, he made six appearances, including one start, in the COVID-19 abbreviated season.[11] In November 2020, the club picked up the option on his contract for the 2021 season.[12][13] However, in June 2021, ahead of the start of the 2021 season, he announced his retirement from the professional game, to pursue other career aspirations, as he was attending university for dentistry.[14][15]
In 2024, he played at the semi-professional level with Edmonton Scottish in League1 Alberta.[16]
