In August 2017, he stepped away from Tottenham Hotspur, relocating to Sheffield United on loan where he made his debut season serving. There, he notched up 17 appearances and scored one goal in league matches.
In a series of successful loan spells which followed, Carter-Vickers featured prominently for several clubs such as Ipswich Town, Swansea City, Stoke City and Luton Town. During these loan tenures, he racked up a commendable number of first team appearances, from as many as 30 in a row at Swansea City to contributing significantly to the efforts at Stoke City, Luton Town and Bournemouth.
In what turned out to be a pivotal moment in his career, Carter-Vickers was loaned out to Celtic in August 2021. Here, the 2021 - 2022 season saw him making 33 first team appearances and netting four goals in league matches.

Recognising his potential, Celtic secured Carter-Vickers on a permanent deal from Tottenham Hotspur in July 2022 for a fee of around £6m. Since then, his valuable contributions on the pitch have not waned. The current 2024 - 2025 season at Celtic witnesses Carter-Vickers already with ten first team appearances. Alongside his league performances are notable appearances in prestigious tournaments like the Champions League, the League Cup and the Copa America.
