Australian flyhalf Carter Gordon said Wednesday he will join rugby league club the Gold Coast Titans next year on a two-year deal in a blow to new Wallabies coach Joe Schmidt.
The 23-year-old has been capped eight times and was seen as a long-term prospect, but will defect to the 13-man game after his debt-laden Super Rugby club Melbourne Rebels was shut down.
“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.”
