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]
