Jack Wighton could be on the move for the first time in his NRL career after telling Canberra he plans to test the open market.

The 2020 Dally M medallist has told the Raiders he won't pick up an option on his contract for the 2024 season and will instead search for a new deal, presumably long-term.

It does not mean Wighton, 30, will leave the Raiders, with the club preparing to fight to retain their superstar, one-club player.

CEO Don Furner acknowledged it could be the five-eighth's last big contract and encouraged him to consider his options.
