Local junior Harley Smith-Shields has extended his deal with the Canberra Raiders until the end of the 2024 season.
Smith-Shields made his NRL debut in 2020 and has made nine appearances in the top grade so far in his career. He was awarded the clubs rookie of the year in 2021 alongside Matt Timoko.
The 23-year-old missed the entire 2022 season after sustaining a knee injury in pre-season but has returned to the squad in 2023 looking to expand on his NRL appearances.
Smith-Shields said he’s grateful for the opportunity to re-sign and can’t wait to take the field again this year.
