Carter was born in Chesterfield, Derbyshire, in 1916.[1] He began his football career with Bolsover Colliery,[2] and had spells on the books of Sheffield United and Wolverhampton Wanderers, without playing league football for either,[3] before joining Macclesfield Town in 1937. In his only season with the club, he scored 40 goals from 39 appearances in the Cheshire League, a return that included 6 in Macclesfield's 8–4 defeat of Hurst.[4][5]
He signed for Mansfield Town of the Football League Third Division North in May 1938, and established himself in the first team over the following season,[2] but his career was disrupted by the Second World War. By the time the Football League resumed, he was 30. He returned to Mansfield and made a few more appearances in 1946–47, after which he joined the club's backroom staff, first as assistant trainer and then as trainer in his own right.[6] Carter died in Mansfield in 1978 at the age of 62.[1]
