The Gold Coast Titans have pulled off a stunning signing coup, snapping up Wallabies fly-half Carter Gordon.
The 23-year-old, who has made eight appearances for the Wallabies, has made the sensational decision to switch codes.
It’s another massive blow for Rugby Australia, but a huge win for Rugby League and the Titans in a massive boost to their halves stocks.
Hailing from Queensland, the five-eighth will join the Gold Coast next season on a two-year deal until the end of 2026.
“I’m excited with the direction that rugby league is taking and the positive feeling around the game,” Gordon said.
“At 23, I feel like I had to take this opportunity now.
“I’m under no illusions and understand that this will be a massive challenge.
“I was really impressed with the Titans and the professionalism they displayed in our meetings.
“I’ve loved my time with rugby as it’s given me the opportunity to represent my country which I’ll always appreciate.”
Titans Coach Des Hasler admitted he’s looking forward to working with the exciting playmaker next season.
“Carter has competed well in rugby, representing his country and playing at the World Cup,” Hasler said.
“What has impressed me is his attitude to test himself and take on the challenge of switching to a new code.
“He’s a skillful player who backs himself”.
