Zac Woolford could be playing for his future as the Canberra Raiders hooker prepares to end his NRL exile and play his first top grade game of the year.

The 27-year-old hooker has been drafted into the Raiders' NRL side for the first time this year ahead of a clash with the Wests Tigers at Campbelltown Stadium on Sunday.

Woolford's recall to the bench comes after Tom Starling entered the NRL's concussion protocols following last week's defeat to North Queensland, with fellow hooker Adrian Trevilyan named in the No.19 jersey on Canberra's extended bench for a trip to Campbelltown.
