Carter considering all the options
Mon, 05 May 2008 12:50
All Black flyhalf Dan Carter has broken his silence but shed no light as to whether he will leave New Zealand at the end of the year.
The All Blacks and Crusaders pivot said he was still weighing up whether to re-sign with the New Zealand Rugby Union (NZRU) or head overseas when his contract expires at the end of the year.
Carter's playing future has been under intense scrutiny since wealthy French clubs Toulon and Toulouse stated they were interested in adding him to their squads. Until know he has refused to comment.
"I am still in the process of exploring all the options," Carter told The Press in Christchurch.
"Not too much has changed. It is just an ongoing process and these things take time.
"At the end of the day I will be doing what is best for myself.
"When I make that decision I will let everyone know," he added.
Carter, who has not played for the Crusaders since badly spraining his ankle against the Hurricanes on March 28, may be fit enough to get game time against the Reds on Saturday.
