'CARTS' signed for Albion in a £1.5million move from Blues in July 2005, putting pen to paper on a three-year Hawthorns deal, plus a further year's option in the club's favour.<\/P>
He made his full debut for the Baggies in a 3-2 defeat by his former club in August 2005 but failed to hold down a regular place in Bryan Robson's starting XI that term.<\/P>
Carter, however, did scoop the Goal-of-the-Season award for his late winner against Arsenal at The Hawthorns in October.<\/P>
The former England Under-20 international came through the ranks at St Andrew's before making his senior debut for Steve Bruce's men at the tender age of 19 in a 1-0 defeat at Albion in January 2002.<\/SPAN><\/P> <\/SPAN>And he achieved cult status at Blues by firing the club into the Premiership with the winning spot-kick in their play-off final penalty shoot-out victory over Norwich at Cardiff's Millennium Stadium just four months later. <\/SPAN><\/P> <\/SPAN>The left-footed dynamo impressed on loan at eventual Championship champions Sunderland at the start of 2004\/05 - notching once in ten games, including two as a substitute. <\/SPAN><\/P> That form prompted Bruce to recall him to his Premiership starting XI, where he fired four goals in 14 starts, including an FA Cup brace in a 3-0 win against Leeds. <\/SPAN><\/P> In total, Solihull-born Carter made 53 appearances, including 21 as a substitute, for Blues, scoring five times.<\/SPAN><\/P>","4EB8C1CDD4A86AD4B213AF7FAE87E4FE":"Forest Green Rovers","7F6018B84729B122B8EE7594158DA382":"Forest Green Rovers,Northampton Town,Cheltenham Town,Preston North End,Millwall,West Bromwich(WBA),Birmingham,Sunderland","147403B66C8CB5C7":"3921","D1BA8203CB065367D63301112214EF98":"0","1BB8AF7BD3F66066":"188cm","75B83B44A2FCDD1B4FF631FCD2E3CC16":"23","90579B4DEA63C3E4":"Darren Carter","0E9052569923A91555E1DAF3C456F9CD":"","078F3C827B475FC4":"6683","2F200EF80307E2A90BE724565D2038D0":"2017-7-1","3B9127F7BC829326":"1","8084EC95B881D770":"Solihull Moors","A494ABC507986833":"Darren Carter","7777CB48C34672EC8F83E174F0B7EFC7":"\uffe11,500,000","86178E7285C328960D9569BD40C7D883":"1983-12-18","e_index":2};
