The Royals are at Dover Road in the Second Qualifying Round of the FA Vase today and then on Tuesday night they host Horndean in the Wessex Premier Division at The OnSite Group Stadium.

Carter is looking forward to his first trip back to Moneyfields since leaving the Portsmouth-based club for Portchester back in the spring.

Speaking to The News earlier this week, he said: “It’s obviously a big game for myself going back to Moneyfields, I’m looking forward to it, it’s a game I want to be part of and involved in.

“There’s nothing strange about it, I’m more looking forward to it - it’s nice to go back to your old haunts, see people you haven’t seen and people who work behind the scenes who people don’t appreciate with all the volunteers.

“It’ll be a tough game, I know they’re giving it stacks that they’re the massive underdogs. It’ll be interesting to see what team they pick.

“We’ve got a decent squad, it’ll be a big game. Some of the boys are returning who were there for a long time.

“It’s a big week - we’ve got Moneyfields and Horndean in the space of four days. I’m looking forward to it.”
