The Canberra Raiders have confirmed the extension of forward Joe Roddy for a further three years, keeping him at the club until the end of the 2030 season.
In his limited time in the NRL, Roddy has shown great promise of becoming a strike forward in the nation's capital, showcased in his NRL debut last year, scoring two tries off the bench.
With his current deal expiring at the end of 2027, the Raiders moved quickly to stop him from going onto the market in November, keeping him at the club for the long-term future.
Roddy played his junior footy in Tumut, a town that falls within the catchment area of the Raiders' junior pathways, highlighting the strength of their development program.
