The Canberra Raiders are extending winger Jed Stuart's contract, crucial for their future despite competition in the squad.
The Canberra Raiders are working through a mega contract extension for young winger Jed Stuart.
The outside back is off-contract at the end of 2026, but is a big part of the Raiders' future plans.
While the club have Xavier Savage and Savelio Tamale as their first-choice wingers, Stuart has held onto his place as the next cab off the rank in 2026 despite the arival during the off-season of Sione Finau at the club, and the ongoing presence of Michael Asomua.
That was confirmed on Tuesday afternoon when Stuart was named to replace Savage for the Raiders' Round 6 clash against the South Sydney Rabbitohs, with Ricky Stuart's side desperate to impress after a one and four start to the season.
