Dan Carter says goodbye to professional rugby

New Zealander Dan Carter, twice winner of the World Cup with the All Blacks (2011 and 2015) and three times chosen as the best player in the world (2005, 2012 and 2015), has announced his retirement this Saturday on his social networks, thus ending his professional career.

Dan Carter  wrote on his Twitter and Instagram accounts: “I officially retire from professional rugby today. A sport I’ve played 32 years which has helped shape me into the person I am today. I can’t thank everyone who has played a part in my journey enough, particularly you, the fans. Rugby will always be a part of my life. Thank you.”

Carter, who will soon turn 39, was currently playing for the Auckland Blues. The player wore the New Zealand national team jersey 112 times and is considered the best starter of all time.

The New Zealand star won the last of his 112 games with the All Blacks by giving a recital and being voted man of the match in victory of his selection in the 2015 World Cup final over Australia. Since then he played for the French club Racing 92 and the Kobelco Steelers of Japan, until returning to his country, the Auckland Blues in 2020.

His departure to foreign clubs also led to his retirement from the national team as he was thus established by the All Blacks. His 1,598 points in international rugby put him 352 ahead of England’s Jonny Wilkinson.
