About the player
Hayden Carter's strike against Oxford United in March 2022 won Portsmouth's Goal of the Season award.
The loan ran from January to May 2022. Carter made 22 appearances for Portsmouth and scored once.
He had left the Manchester City academy for Blackburn in 2014, signed his first professional contract in June 2020, and was sent to Burton Albion the following January. At Burton he played 24 times and scored four goals by May 2021. He finished second in the club's Player of the Season voting for 2020–21.
Blackburn extended his contract in March 2023, and it now runs until 2027.
Injuries have interrupted his progress more than once. He had a hamstring problem in July 2022 and a calf injury in December of the same year. In October 2024 he needed knee surgery after a match against West Bromwich Albion.
Carter has not played for England at senior or youth level, and he has not won a major team title in his senior career.
