Football career

Originally from the small town of Wyndham in the Kimberley region of Western Australia, he played a few colts games for Claremont in 2017 whilst attending school at Aquinas College, Perth. He also played for Western Australia at the 2016 Under 16 National Championships, where he was named in the All-Australian team. He was selected to play in the 2017 AFL Under 18 Championships but injured his knee during a trial game and was unable to compete. [1] He was then invited to join Fremantle's Next Generation Academy at the beginning of 2018, and switched to play for Fremantle's affiliate team, Peel Thunder. [2]

He was drafted to Fremantle's rookie list via the Next Generation Academy (NGA) system at the 2018 AFL Draft, becoming the first NGA player to be recruited by Fremantle, and the first player from Wyndham to be on an AFL list. [3]

After spending most of the 2019 season playing for Peel in the West Australian Football League (WAFL), Carter was elevated to the senior list in July. [4] In August, he made his AFL debut in Fremantle's upset win over Geelong. [5] [6]

In the 2020 season that was interrupted by the coronavirus outbreak, Carter along with Fremantle teammates were caught attending a house party in breach of WA government protocols. [7] Later in August, Carter was caught by Police drink driving and was given a club based suspension. Carter asked to be released from his contract and was delisted. [8]

The Fremantle Football Club, nicknamed the Dockers, is a professional Australian rules football club competing in the Australian Football League (AFL), the sport's elite competition. The team was founded in 1994 to represent the port city of Fremantle, a stronghold of Australian rules football in Western Australia. The Dockers were the second team from the state to be admitted to the competition, following the West Coast Eagles in 1987. Both Fremantle and the West Coast Eagles are owned by the West Australian Football Commission (WAFC), with a board of directors operating Fremantle on the commission's behalf.

Fremantle Football Club's drafting and trading history is often cited as a reason for their poor on-field record; the club took eight years to reach a final, and won their first final in 2006. In recent years, however, they have been successful in finding good players with late round and rookie list selections.
