Wallabies flyhalf makes shock switch to Rugby League

Formerly at the Melbourne Rebels, Gordon has played eight times for the Wallabies, making his international debut against the Springboks in 2023.

He's a current member of the Australian squad and has played at the Rugby World Cup. The 23-year-old says he's excited to move to the Gold Coast and test himself in the NRL.

"I'm excited with the direction that rugby league is taking and the positive feeling around the game," said Gordon, as per the Titans' website.

"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 says he's looking forward to working with Gordon 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 skilful player who backs himself."

Gordon will join the Titans for the 2025 and 2026 NRL seasons.
