Salter made his debut in county cricket for Wales Minor Counties against Wiltshire in the 2010 MCCA Knockout Trophy, and in that same season he made his debut in the Minor Counties Championship against Devon. In early 2011, he played four Youth One Day Internationals for England Under-19s against Sri Lanka Under-19s during England Under-19s tour there. While studying for a Higher National Diploma in Sport Coaching & Development at Cardiff Metropolitan University, Salter made his first-class debut for Cardiff MCC University in the team's inaugural appearance in first-class cricket against Somerset at Taunton Vale Sports Club Ground in 2012. He featured in a second first-class appearance in that season for Cardiff MCCU against Warwickshire at Edgbaston.

Salter managed to take a wicket with his very first career ball in the County Championship when he had Leicestershire's Shiv Thakor caught behind. In April 2022, in the opening round of matches in the 2022 County Championship, Salter took his maiden five-wicket haul in first-class cricket, with 7 for 45 against Durham.
