Corey Harawira-Naera faces career uncertainty after on-field seizure leads to medical challenges.
Corey Harawira-Naera, the hard-hitting second-rower for the Canberra Raiders, is facing a tough tackle as his NRL career hangs in the balance.
Following a scary medical incident on the field in mid-2023, Harawira-Naera has been sidelined from all playing and training activities as he seeks a second medical opinion.
The incident, which saw Harawira-Naera suffer an on-field seizure during a clash against the South Sydney Rabbitohs, left fans and teammates shaken.
Despite receiving clearance to increase his training intensity, challenges remain for the forward as he copes with a defibrillator inserted in his chest to manage an underlying heart condition believed to have triggered the seizure.
