The Canberra Raiders re-signed Ata Mariota to a contract lasting until the end of the 2028 NRL season.
The Canberra Raiders have confirmed the re-signing of Ata Mariota through to the end of the 2028 NRL season.
Mariota, rated as one of the best young forwards in the game, has realised his potential in recent seasons, become a permanent part of Ricky Stuart's side in 2023 and never looked back.
The forward, able to play in the middle or on the edge, now has 87 games under his belt, and will only continue to see an increasing role in the coming years as some of Canberra's aging forward pack head for the exit.
Mariota's new contract takes him through to the end of 2028, with the two-year extension taking him off the open market and away from the eyes of expansion teams until at least November 1 next year.
