Born in Gowran, County Kilkenny, Carter first played competitive hurling whilst at school at St Kieran's College. He arrived on the inter-county scene at the age of seventeen when he first linked up with the Kilkenny minor team, before later joining the under-21 and junior sides. 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.

As a member of the Leinster inter-provincial team on a number of occasions, Carter won one Railway Cup medal. At club level he is a two-time championship medallist with Young Irelands.

Throughout his career Carter made 29 championship appearances. He retired from inter-county hurling in controversial circumstances on 7 June 2003.{{cite web|url=http://www.irishexaminer.com/archives/2003/0418/ireland/carter-unhappy-with-treatment-and-may-quit-kilkenny-345016.html|title=Carter unhappy with treatment and may quit Kilkenny|newspaper=Irish Examiner|date=18 April 2003|access-date=13 August 2014|first=Jim|last=O'Sullivan}}{{cite web|url=http://www.rte.ie/sport/gaa/hurling/2003/0610/173222-kilkenny/|title=Cats shell-shocked as out-of-favour Carter quits|publisher=RTÉ Sport|date=10 June 2003|access-date=13 August 2014}}{{cite web|url=http://www.thefreelibrary.com/Hurling%3A+Quinn+wants+a+big+time+Charlie+to+shine+for+the+Cats%3B+NED...-a0102975369|title=Quinn wants a big time Charlie to shine for the Cats|newspaper=Irish Mirror|date=11 June 2003|access-date=13 August 2014}}{{cite web|url=http://www.breakingnews.ie/sport/gaa/carter-quits-kilkenny-hurling-102116.html|title=Carter quits Kilkenny hurling|publisher=Breaking News website|date=10 June 2003|access-date=13 August 2014}}{{cite web|url=http://www.sixmilebridgegaa.com/Media%20Section/showfullstory.asp?id=34&category=gaaarticles |title=Regrets?
