Carter Carl Gordon (born 29 January 2001) is an Australian professional rugby union footballer who plays for the Queensland Reds in Super Rugby and for the Australian Wallabies. ^[4] He formerly played for the Melbourne Rebels and also the Gold Coast Titans in the National Rugby League.

Rugby union career

He was signed for the Queensland Reds squad in 2020 but relocated to Melbourne in 2021 to join the Rebels. ^{[5] [6] [7]} Since his move to the Rebels, Gordon has remained with the team and has since become the starting fly-half for the team, and re-signed for the team, in 2022, until the end of 2024. ^[8]

Gordon was selected in the Australian squad for the 2023 Rugby World Cup.

Rugby league career

On June 12, 2024, it was announced that Gordon had signed for NRL team, the Gold Coast Titans from the 2025 NRL season onwards. ^[9] One month later Gordon played his first game of Rugby League for the Tweed Heads Seagulls in the Queensland Cup, scoring a try and one try assist. ^[10] Unfortunately in the 2025 pre-season Gordon suffered a back injury at training, Gordon revealed that his injury was a CSF leak from his back that required full bed rest. He won his first match in the NRL 36-28 in round 27 of the 2025 NRL season over the Wests Tigers which meant the Gold Coast would avoid the Wooden Spoon. ^[11] On 6 October 2025, it was reported that Gordon had been granted permission by the Gold Coast to negotiate with Rugby Union teams for an immediate switch back to the 15-man code. ^[12] On 10 October, the Titans officially released Gordon from the remainder of his contract. ^[13]
