Dan Carter is a Racing 92 player once again
By Peter Hanson
Dan Carter is returning to Racing 92, the Top 14 giants announced on Sunday.
The New Zealand legend spent three years in Paris between 2015 and 2018, winning the Top 14 title in 2016.
Racing announced Carter's return in a short video on their official Twitter account and reports suggest the 36-year-old will link up with the team in March through to the end of the season.
Carter, a two-time winner of the Rugby World Cup, is reported to have signed a medical joker contract, with Racing having worked on the paperwork for his temporary release from Japanese side Kobelco Steelers.
Racing have been looking for fly-half cover for Finn Russell since former South Africa international Pat Lambie was forced into early retirement at the age of 28 last month due to a series of head injuries.
During Carter's first stint, Racing twice finished runners-up in the European Champions Cup although he missed last season's final defeat to Leinster through injury.

we need a damaging 12 that takes 2 men to tackle that will take pressure off the 10 while also creating space for the 10 and 13 . Leicester is the only guy that fits the mould . The next thing is " will he be able to develop a good offload " ? .
for 13 Joey manu has more x factor then reiko and jordie put togeather . he's got one season in japan before he looks to come home . he's a dark horse but his skill set is something the All Blacks don't have . if he comes home and lights up the npc in a game or 2 , id love to see him fast tracked and come off the bench for the All Blacks and thrown into the deep end to see if he can swim . Just to see if he's worth the time and effort to develop further . We all saw how good sualii did for the wallabies and joey manu is just as good as sualii . He's safe under the high ball , a solid defender , has a master offload , and he's fast and strong .
he fits the mould for razor's offload tactics .
Plus reiko and jordie have had the 12 & 13 for how long and I haven't seen anything special from either of them .
