Breaking News: The “Magic Man” Returns to the Canberra Raiders And He Might Be Better Than Ever…
In a major boost for the Canberra Raiders, star playmaker Jack Wighton – affectionately known as the “Magic Man” – is set to return to the club, sparking excitement among fans and teammates alike. After a stint away from the Raiders, Wighton is reportedly in peak physical condition and ready to make a serious impact in the 2025 NRL season.
Wighton, a former Dally M Medal winner and one of the most dynamic players in the game, brings back not just experience but leadership and X-factor. His time at South Sydney may not have gone to script, but sources say the 31-year-old is hungry to prove he still has plenty to offer – and possibly more.
Club insiders say Wighton has returned to pre-season training with a point to prove, impressing with his fitness, sharpness, and renewed focus. Raiders coach Ricky Stuart has welcomed the move, calling Wighton’s return “massive” for the club’s direction moving forward.
With a strong core of young talent and Wighton’s game-breaking ability back in the mix, Canberra’s 2025 campaign just became a whole lot more exciting. The Magic Man is back in green and he’s got unfinished business.
