All Blacks legend Dan Carter is set to finish his career in Japan with the Kobelco Steelers in the Japan Top League, as sources informed Kyodo News on Thursday.
Signing with Kobe Steelers would see Carter reunite with Andy Ellis, his longtime halfback partner with both the All Blacks and the Crusaders, along with former Wallaby star Adam Ashley-Cooper.
Former Wallabies and Queensland Reds attack coach Jim McKay is the head coach at Kobe.
The Steelers also have a relationship with Wayne Smith, a former coach with both New Zealand and the Crusaders Super Rugby side, and wear playing kit made by Adidas, who have a sponsorship deal with Carter.
Kobe were the first ever Top League champions in 2003-04 and finished fourth in the 2016/17 season. They are currently second on the table this season. The signing of Carter would further strengthen their status as title contenders.

After you. And yes, that's exactly what Penney should do. Stat!! Unfortunately he has one year left on his contract.
Penney's Super Rugby win record was a low 23% before we signed him on. At the top was Razor at 84%. And true to form, Penney took us from a 7-peat to not even making the play-offs in ONE season. No excuses. LOSER. Thank God his contract is up next year. And hopefully Rangi might wanna throw his hat in for the job.
In the meantime, hopefully we can crack the top 6 this year in spite of Penney!??!
Go to comments"exceptional as usual" haha I'll take that to mean he kicked how he 'usually' kicked?
Why was Dmac rated a 6, did he not actually do any better or did he come on at fb or something?
