Darren Carter (born December 18, 1983 in Solihull, England) is an English football player and midfielder who plays for West Bromwich Albion.
Carter made his debut for Birmingham City in the 1-0 defeat at West Brom on January 29, 2002. He subsequently hit the headlines in May of the same year when he calmly slotted home the decisive penalty in the shoot-out to decide the Division One play-off final. The match had finished 1-1 after extra time and the invaluable spot-kick sealed Birmingham's promotion to the Premiership, thus condemning Norwich City to languish for another season in Division One.
After the former England Under-20 international signed a contract to keep him at the club until 2006, he was loaned to Sunderland in September 2004, scoring on his debut, and making nine further appearances. This gave his Birmingham career the boost it needed, and he was seen as a vital member of the squad until his 2005 transfer to Albion for £1.5 million.
Carter represented England U20 at the 2003 FIFA World Youth Championship.
