Wallabies Confirm Return of Carter Gordon
Rugby Australia has confirmed the return of "quality player" Carter Gordon after a brief stint in rugby league.
"I’ve watched both Queensland and the Wallabies from afar over the past year or so, and the journey they’re on motivates me to want to work hard and contribute positively on and off the field."
Gordon, a 24-year-old former Wallabies fly-half, has signed a new three-year deal with Rugby Australia and the Queensland Reds through 2028. He had left rugby union in 2024 to join the Gold Coast Titans in the NRL, but his time in rugby league was cut short due to an ongoing neck injury.
- Agreed to a three-year contract with Rugby Australia and the Queensland Reds
- Left rugby union in 2024 to join the Gold Coast Titans in the NRL
- Battled an ongoing neck injury, including a spinal fluid leak, which required surgery
Gordon made only one first-team appearance for the Titans in the NRL before his injury forced him to undergo surgery.
