Errol Carter signs for CRLFC

Cornwall RLFC have secured the services of Turkish international Errol Carter for the 2023 Betfred League 1 campaign.

Southampton born, Carter started his rugby league career with Championship outfit London Broncos before going on to represent their capital rivals, Oxford, Gloucestershire All Golds and the Coventry Bears.

The 26-year-old has also played rugby union during his career and has captained England at sevens students level.

Whilst studying at the University of Gloucestershire, Carter also played for the full England students rugby league team too.

Owing to his Turkish heritage, Carter has gained full international honours with the Turkey rugby league side which were formed in 2018. This calendar year, Carter was part of the Turkey side who faced off against an Australian Combined Forces side, as a curtain raiser for the NRL game between St George Illawarra Dragons and the Sydney Roosters. 

The match, as part of the NRL’s ANZAC Day celebrations, took place at the world famous Sydney Cricket Ground. 

“I see my move to Cornwall as a great opportunity,” Carter told cornwallrlfc.co.uk. “From the outside looking in, the club is building a good team and are continuing with the great team ethos that you could see was present last year.

“I thrive on a high energy game, being strong defensively and being no-nonsense at both ends of the pitch. I can’t wait to bring that to Cornwall and can’t wait to get started.

“I know what it takes to play and compete at League 1 level and I will be looking to use my experience to help take the squad forward. You need good game awareness in League 1 and even though I’m not exactly old, I will be an experienced head in amongst some really exciting young players.”
