Less than a week after announcing the acquisition of remarkable talent Coby Black, the Canberra Raiders have added another promising young player from the Brisbane Broncos: Saxon Innes.

Innes, who has been the starting fullback in the Under-20s NRLQ Series for the Broncos, will bring his skills to the Raiders, signing a lower-grade contract that allows him to train with the first-grade squad during the pre-season.

Renowned for his exceptional speed and impressive footwork, Innes enjoyed a standout season in the 2025 Mal Meninga Cup and made two appearances in the QLD Cup at the end of the 2024 season.
