Dan Carter returned to New Zealand last month and has been weighing up offers from Auckland and Canterbury.  This afternoon Carter signed on the dotted line with Canterbury.

Carter, the injured All Blacks’ first-five eighth has re-signed with the Canterbury Rugby Union through until the end of 2011.

It is reported that Auckland was prepared to pay Carter as much as $400,000 a season to move there.  This must have been attractive to Carter who now resides in Auckland although Carter says Christchurch has always been home.

I am sure the Canterbuy Rugby fans will be pleased with his loyalty to the region.
