Former Queensland representative forwardย Chris McQueen could be set to join a new club a month after announcing his retirement from rugby league.
McQueen spent 12 seasons in theย NRLย for theย South Sydney Rabbitohs,ย Gold Coast Titansย andย Wests Tigersย before making the move overseas to play for theย Huddersfield Giantsย in the Englishย Super League.
Mainly playing for the Rabbitohs during his time inย Australia,ย he amassed 164ย NRL first-grade games and 140 points before playing 75 games with Huddersfield since the 2020 season.
Despite announcing his retirement, reports fromย Treize Mondial have now indicated that Chris McQueen is close to securing a move to the French Elite 1 competition for the 2023/24 season.
It is understood that both Carcassonne and Limoux have been named as clubs that McQueen may join - the two teams are on sitting on the top-of-the-table.
This revelation comes less than a month after McQueen announced his retirement from rugby league after a stint overseas in the English Super League.
"A trueย Rugby Leagueย legend, and one that we're so proud to have represented the Claret and Gold on a number of occasions,ย Ian Watsonย described Chris as "The guy everyone wants to play with" after he made his 250th Career Appearance vsย Leeds Rhinos, a hallmark of one of his many qualities," a statement from theย Huddersfield Giantsย read.
"Chris deserves the very best Giants send off, and we ask everyone to get down to the John Smith's Stadium on Friday evening to wish Chris well.
"We wish Chris the very best as he returns home toย Australiaย at the end of the year, and look forward to welcoming him back to the John Smith's Stadium in the future.
"Thank you,ย Chris McQueen."
