In a surprising turn of events, retired NRL player Jarrod Croker has decided to make his comeback to the Canberra Raiders, the team where he made a name for himself by playing an impressive 300 first-grade games.
However, fans hoping to see Croker lace up his boots once again will be disappointed, as he is set to join the coaching staff under the guidance of Ricky Stuart.
Taking on the role of an outside back and goal-kicking coach, Croker is excited for the new challenge that lies ahead.
Working closely with Elite Pathways coach Chris Hutchison, as well as the NRL and development teams' coaching staff, his aim is to share his wealth of knowledge and experiences with the next generation of Raiders players.
