Matthew Carter (born 26 May 1996) is an English professional cricketer, who plays for Woodhall Spa Cricket Club. Matt has two brothers, Will and Andy who both play high level cricket in Lincolnshire for Bracebridge Heath Cricket Club.
Career
He took figures of 10/195, including 7/56 in the first-innings, on his first-class cricket debut for Notts against Somerset on a turning pitch in June 2015.[1]

He made his List A debut for Nottinghamshire in the 2018 Royal London One-Day Cup on 27 May 2018.[3] He made his Twenty20 debut for Nottinghamshire in the 2018 t20 Blast on 17 August 2018.[4] He was drafted by Trent Rockets for the inaugural season of The Hundred.[5] In April 2022, he was bought by the Trent Rockets for the 2022 season of The Hundred.[6]
On 22 May 2024, Nottinghamshire cricket announced that Matt had left the club by mutual consent, bringing to an end 9 years of service.
