Sam Carter signs for Ulster

,

Ulster have confirmed the signature of Australian international Sam Carter from the ACT Brumbies ahead of next season.

No contract length was given in the official release however the Belfast Telegraph have reported that he has signed a ‘multi-year deal’ indicating that he will be in an Ulster jersey for upwards of two seasons.

It’s looking like Christian Lealiifano, as Stefan Terblanche did before him, is proving a useful scout in order to persuade Australian players to come to the province. Carter will be the third Brumbies player to have signed for the province over the last two seasons.

He has featured 16 times for Australia since making his debut against France in 2014 with his last cap coming in a 40-27 win over Italy in the 2017 June tests. Carter appeared off the bench after the hour mark.

Carter has 105 Super Rugby appearances having made his debut in 2011 and currently shares the captaincy with Lealiifano.

With Australia only selecting overseas . . .
