Sutton United have completed the signing of midfielder Charlie Carter from National League South side Dorking Wanderers.

The 29-year-old, who was born in Sutton, spent three years at Dorking and was captain for the past two seasons.

He also played National League football with Woking and Eastleigh, either side of a three-year spell at League Two Stevenage, where he was coached briefly by current Sutton boss Chris Agutter.

"For me, he'll be the best attacking midfield player in the league," Agutter told the club's website, external.

"I came up against him when he was at Dorking and know him from my time at Stevenage.

"He's a statement signing. As soon as we felt there was an opportunity of bringing Carts to the football club, we jumped on it and were really aggressive in trying to get him in the building, in a positive sense, in terms of being forceful and on the front foot."
