All Black great Dan Carter is poised to announce details of a move abroad after next year’s Rugby World Cup.
The 32-year-old five-eighth is widely expected to quit New Zealand after the 2015 tournament with a French club his most likely destination.
Reports from France suggested Racing Metro has won the race for the signature of Carter – capped 102 times by his country.
Carter’s management group has called a media conference for Thursday afternoon in Auckland which will also be attended by NZ Rugby boss Steve Tew.
Carter’s role as first-choice in the All Blacks’ No.10 jersey has been put in doubt recently after the emergence of Aaron Cruden and Beauden Barrett.
He played 30 minutes off the bench against the United States in Chicago but then had an unconvincing 55 minutes after starting against Scotland on the All Blacks’ end of year tour.
His season was marred by injury when he broke his leg playing for the Crusaders in the Super Rugby final shortly after returning to the game after a six-month break.
A lucrative short-term sabbatical for Carter with Perpignan in 2009 was cut short by injury.
