Like every rugby transfer. Firstly the financials are agreed then closer to the move, players undergo ‘Medicals’.
Carter had agreed to join Racing as Medical Joker, coming in mid-season to cover Pat Lambie who was forced to retire earlier this season.
Reports stated Carter was expected to receive around £30K per month for his short term deal in Paris but this deal has fallen through last minute due to Carter failing his medical.
French newspaper Le Parisien reported Carter has a “cervical spine problem.
the statement said.
“As part of routine medical checks prior to the approval of players’ licences, Racing 92 forwarded certain medical information to experts appointed by the Ligue Nationale de Rugby (LNR). Their opinion was unanimous: Dan Carter will not be able to play rugby in France,”
Carter, (37) led Racing 92 to Top 14 glory in 2016, joined the Parisian side following the All Blacks’ 2015 Rugby World Cup victory.
