Jason Carter Biography

Jason Carter parts ways with Fremantle, effective immediately.

General manager of football Peter Bell said Carter, his management and family had requested an early release from his playing contract, which the club had agreed to.

Earlier this week, Carter was served with a club-imposed sanction, including a five-game suspension, after the 20-year-old was charged by police with a drink driving offence last weekend.

"Following Jason’s five-game suspension, Jason and his management sought clarity around Jason’s likely contractual status for 2021," Bell said.

"The club informed Jason and his management that Jason would not be offered a contract for 2021 and subsequently an early release from his 2020 playing contract was agreed to."

Jason Carter makes his AFL debut for Fremantle at Perth Stadium with 9 disposals (5 kicks and 4 handballs), 2 marks and 4 tackles in a 34-point win over Geelong.

A member of Freo's Next Generation Academy, Jason Carter could become the first player from the club's Kimberley catchment zone to graduate to the senior squad via the NAB AFL Draft.

"If I were to get drafted, I'd be the first one from Wyndham. I contact my parents nearly every day and they tell me how Wyndham is very excited," Carter said.

"Pretty much everywhere they go someone is asking how I am, how's footy going and all that.

"It would mean the world to them and put Wyndham on the map (if I was drafted)."
