Born in Gowran, County Kilkenny, Carter first played competitive hurling whilst at school at St. Kieran's College.

He made his senior debut during the 1990-91 National League. Carter went on to play a key role for Kilkenny, and won two All-Ireland medals, four Leinster medals and one National Hurling League medal. He was an All-Ireland runner-up on two occasions.
