Currently without a contract heading into the 2026 season, uncontracted playmaker Jackson Hastings has found himself linked with another NRL club as he looks to revive his playing career.

Failing to live up to his $700,000 price-tag at the Newcastle Knights over the past three seasons, Hastings was continually overlooked in favour of other options which saw him play the majority of his tenure in the NSW Cup competition.

However, the 29-year-old revealed earlier in the month that he has no desire to return overseas due to his young daughter and wanting to be close to his sisters.

With a Super League move off the cards, sources speaking on the condition of anonymity told Zero Tackle that Hastings has found himself on the radar of the Canberra Raiders, who are looking to bring in an experienced halfback to help mentor Ethan Sanders.
