Dan Carter is a Racing 92 player once again
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.

To be honest, that's excuses. SA players involved all over 12 months a year. That is not the way to excuse what's happening. There is no replacement for actual fitness, which the English need. In all their games, it was clear that they are not fit enough for 80 min playing. You have to put in the work to get fit. Numbers won't change that. They need the right conditioning and fitness coaches. They rely on a defensive system that requires ultimate fitness. Don't use strategies that counters your abilities. Stop seeking excuses. Also it's a mental thing. They have to break through that mental block. Plenty of rumours around that players and coaches aren't happy with Borthwick. That could just be rumour spreading too, however, where there is smoke, there is usually fire
