In a stunning move reminiscent of a game-changing try in the dying minutes of a Grand Final, Wallabies fly half Carter Gordon has decided to swap the oval ball for the Steeden and join the Gold Coast Titans in 2025.
The news comes hot on the heels of the Melbourne Rebels' collapse, which left many players searching for new opportunities.
Gordon, who took the rugby world by storm with a surprise call-up to the Wallabies starting lineup during the tumultuous 2023 World Cup, has decided to make the switch to rugby league.
The 23-year-old played his final game for the Rebels last weekend before setting his sights on the NRL.
With eight appearances for the Wallabies under his belt, Gordon is no stranger to the international stage.
His decision to join the Titans on a two-year deal was fueled by the promising future of rugby league and the excitement surrounding the game.
"I'm thrilled about the direction that rugby league is heading in and the buzz surrounding the sport," Gordon commented.
"At 23, I felt like I couldn't pass up this opportunity to make a mark in a new playing field."
As Gordon prepares to don the Titan's colors, fans can expect to see him bring his rugby prowess to the rugby league arena, ready to tackle whatever challenges come his way with the same determination and skill that made him a standout player on the rugby field.
