Carter Gordon is considering a move to rugby league as uncertainty swirls around the future of the Melbourne Rebels.
Star Wallabies playmaker Carter Gordon is considering a code switch and has held talks with NRL side the Gold Coast Titans, amid uncertainty over the survival of his club, the Melbourne Rebels.
One option is a switch to rugby league, and the 23-year-old’s management recently met Titans officials to discuss a potential contract. Winger Mark Nawaqanitawase shocked many in December by defecting to the Roosters on a two-year-deal starting in 2025, and Queensland and Australia star Jordan Petaia met Dragons coach Shane Flanagan this month about a potential code switch.Gordon is considered a rising talent in Australian rugby. He joined the Queensland Reds academy as a teenager in 2019, before moving to the Rebels and making his Super Rugby debut in 2021.
Gordon played off the bench against Wales and was ruled out of the final game against Portugal with injury, but he will still be among the primary contenders for the Wallabies No.10 role under new coach Joe Schmidt.With the British and Irish Lions touring next year and the Rugby World Cup in Australia in 2027, Rugby Australia has opened negotiations with Gordon about a contract extension. It’s highly unlikely he would command $700,000 in Australian rugby.
