**Official: Josh Dugan Joins Canberra Raiders in Blockbuster Move from Cronulla Sharks **

In a stunning move that has rocked the NRL landscape, Josh Dugan has officially signed with the Canberra Raiders, marking a sensational return to the club where his professional career began.

The star fullback departs the Cronulla Sharks after several seasons, bringing experience, flair, and firepower back to the nation’s capital.

Dugan, 35, has battled injuries in recent years but remains one of the most dynamic players when fully fit.

His return to Canberra is being hailed as both a strategic and emotional boost for the Green Machine, who are eager to inject leadership and X-factor into their backline for the upcoming season.

“I’m excited to be back where it all started,” said Dugan in a statement. “Canberra holds a special place in my heart, and I’m ready to give everything for the jersey.”

The move is being seen as a gamble by some, given Dugan’s age and injury history, but Raiders coach Ricky Stuart is confident the veteran has plenty left in the tank.

Fans can expect fireworks when the Raiders take the field in 2026, with Dugan set to play a key role in what could be a serious push for premiership glory.
