County career

Born on 27 August 1988 in Lincoln, Carter started out with Lincolnshire in minor counties cricket before signing for Nottinghamshire. He made his first-class debut as a 20-year-old for against Oxford UCCE in 2009, taking two wickets in the match and claiming figures of 1–41 and 1–27 in the first and second innings respectively.[1] He made his List A debut on 9 August 2009 in a loss against Essex in a Pro40 game at Garons Park. Carter took 3 wickets for 32 runs in the first innings to help dismiss Essex for 224.[2] Carter went on to play in deveral further one-day games in 2009. His best figures came on 7 September against Sussex at Hove. He took 2 wickets for 44 in eight overs as Nottinghamshire fell to a 152 run defeat.[3]

In 2010, Carter was restricted to second XI and league cricket appearances, as well as appearing for Lincolnshire, which led to Nottinghamshire agreeing to a one-month loan deal with Essex.[4] In his second game for Essex he took three wickets in the second innings of the match against Yorkshire, also taking one wicket in the fourth innings in a drawn match.[5] In the following match, a one-day game against Northamptonshire, he took 2 wickets for 33 runs in a nine-wicket victory for Essex.[6] In late July, Carter took his career best bowling figures of 7–121 in the County Championship against Kent, also achieving his first five-wicket haul of 5–40 in the same match. Despite this Essex lost the match by 99 runs.[7] In 2010, Carter signed a new two-year contract with Nottinghamshire to keep him at the club until the end of 2012.[8]

In March 2011, Carter was selected and played for the England Lions. He played in one four-day match against the Windward Islands, taking 2 wickets for 30 runs in the second innings of the match as England Lions recorded a 258 run victory.[9] Carter featured prominently in the Nottinghamshire 2011 T20 campaign as he played seven matches. His best figures came against Derbyshire, where he recorded 4 wickets for 20 runs in his four overs helping Nottinghamshire to a 38 run victory.[10] He followed this up in his second match by claiming figures of 2–38 against Yorkshire in a 53 run victory.[11]

Carter joined Glamorgan on a short-term loan in April 2015,[12] taking twelve wickets in three County Championship matches. Two months later, he rejoined Glamorgan on another short-term loan.[13] Having made only one Championship appearance for Nottinghamshire in 2015, Carter turned down a new contract offer from the club in favour of signing a two-year contract with Derbyshire, commencing in the 2016 season.[14] After taking 20 wickets in 16 appearances across all formats, Carter's contract was cancelled by mutual consent in July 2016.[15]
