Josh Papalii re-signed with Canberra Raiders through 2026, likely ending his career there.
The Canberra Raiders have confirmed the re-signing of Josh Papalii through to the end of the 2026 NRL season, and likely the end of his career.
The prop was originally resigned to leaving the club and finishing his career in the English Super League, but the script has flipped in recent months.
That has now come to pass, with the Raiders confirming Papalii, who is the club's most-capped player, will continue for another year.
It comes on the heels of the Newcastle Knights confirming they had signed young Raiders forward Trey Mooney, who asked for a release after Papalii began negotiations over a contract extension.
