The Toyota Forklifts Raiders can confirm the re-signing of local junior Harley Smith-Shields, who has agreed to an extension of his contract 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.
A prodigious talent in the clubs’ lower grades, Smith-Shields 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.
