All Blacks legend Dan Carter in shock Super Rugby comeback
Two-time All Blacks Rugby World Cup winner Dan Carter announced a shock Super Rugby comeback with the Blues on Thursday at the age of 38, saying he realised during coronavirus lockdown how much he missed the game.
Carter, a three-time world player of the year, has been a free agent since returning to New Zealand in March from Japan, where a virus-enforced shutdown ended his lucrative stint with Kobe Steelers.
“Two things from the lockdown that I realised was that I really enjoyed spending more time with my family and that I miss rugby,” Carter said.
“For me, it is a chance to mentor some young players and to give back to New Zealand rugby,” he added.
The signing comes as New Zealand’s Super Rugby teams prepare to start a domestic tournament next week after Covid-19 halted the southern hemisphere championship in March.
