In a stunning move that sends shockwaves through the NRL, the Sydney Roosters\u2019 star player has reportedly inked a **two\u2011year contract extension worth A$9.5\u202fmillion** to join the Canberra Raiders.<\/p>\n

According to sources inside the club, the deal secures one of the competition\u2019s biggest free\u2011agent coups in recent memory \u2014 a marquee acquisition designed to elevate the Raiders\u2019 spine and leadership core.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The 29\u2011year\u2011old standout was long\u2011rumoured to be weighing his options, with several top clubs monitoring the situation. Ultimately, Canberra won the bidding war, offering a combination of top\u2011tier salary, long\u2011term role guarantee, and an influential leadership position within the roster.<\/p>\n

Already considered one of the Roosters\u2019 elite talents, this move marks both a major shift in the player\u2019s career and a strategic statement by the Raiders: chasing premiership success now.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Club insiders expect the player to assume a key play\u2011maker or forward leadership role, injecting experience and star power into the Raiders. For the Roosters, it\u2019s a significant loss \u2014 though they may receive compensation and will now need to rebuild their depth chart.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

More details \u2014 including exact salary breakdown, triggering performance bonuses, and official contract announcements \u2014 are expected to be released in the com<\/p>\n
