Shortly after leaving the Durban Boys' Model School at the age of 16, Carter began playing first-class cricket for Natal, and eventually played for them from 1898 to 1923, except for a season with Transvaal in 1910-11.[3] He toured England with the South African teams of 1912 and 1924.[4] He was South Africa's leading bowler in the series against Australia in South Africa in 1921-22, when he took 15 wickets at an average of 21.93.[5]

He played a season of club cricket in Yorkshire in 1905,[6] and later played Lancashire League cricket for Lowerhouse in 1925 and 1926, and represented Cornwall in the Minor Counties Championship in 1930 and 1935.
