Matt Carter (born August 2, 1986, in Kelowna, British Columbia) is a retired professional Canadian football wide receiver.
Carter was drafted by the BC Lions in the first round of the 2009 CFL Draft and signed briefly to their practice roster before he asked to be released, so he could return closer to his family in Oakville, Ontario, as they dealt with a family medical issue.
Several weeks later, the nearby Hamilton Tiger-Cats signed him to their practice roster.
[2] After spending two seasons with the Eskimos, he signed as a free agent with the Ottawa Redblacks on February 11, 2014.
[3] After two seasons in Ottawa, Carter retired from professional football in January 2016, citing concussions as the main reason for his decision.
