The 20-year-old Blues midfielder, who joined the Black Cats on a three month loan deal on Thursday, will go straight into Mick McCarthy's squad for their Coca Cola Championship game against Preston on Saturday. "It's frustrating when you train all week and it comes to Saturday and you're not involved. I want to play first-team football."
"As soon as Mick got in touch with the Steve Bruce I wanted to come here and do well," Carter told the official Sunderland website.
