He spent quite some time with Spurs, albeit often stepping out on loan stints to other clubs. In the August of 2017, he moved to Sheffield United on loan, where in his debut season he made 17 appearances and managed to score one goal.
Multiple loan spells followed, including a six-month stint at Ipswich Town and a season at Swansea City, playing consistently in each.

The following season, he made 29 appearances without scoring. Despite this, his impressive performances on the pitch led to Carter-Vickers' permanent switch to Celtic in July 2022 for a fee close to £6m.
Since his shift from loanee to a permanent fixture at Celtic, Carter-Vickers has been instrumental for the club. In the 2023/24 season, he added another 25 appearances and a goal to his records. Ongoing in the 2024/25 season, he has chalked up 10 more appearances so far.
