Raiders vow to fight to keep Wighton
The Canberra Raiders have vowed to fight to keep star five-eighth Jack Wighton, after he told the club he intends to test the open market.
It's not the news Canberra Raiders fans were hoping for, given Wighton had an option in his favour for 2024.
But he's decided against taking that up yet and will instead see what he can get elsewhere.
Jack Wighton tells Raiders he’ll test NRL open market
Jack Wighton could be on the move for the first time in his NRL career after telling Canberra he plans to test the open market.
The 2020 Dally M medallist has told the Raiders he won’t pick up an option on his contract for the 2024 season and will instead search for a new deal, presumably long-term.
It does not mean Wighton, 30, will leave the Raiders, with the club preparing to fight to retain their superstar, one-club player.
