The Canberra Raiders have reportedly decided on Ricky Stuart's future as head coach after recently coaching his 500th game as an NRL head coach.

In what could be announced as early as Wednesday, The Daily Telegraph has reported that the Raiders are set to table him a four-year contract extension until the end of the 2029 NRL season.

Already under contract until the conclusion of the 2025 season, the major development regarding the 57-year-old's future comes as a reward for guiding the club into the top eight despite the high-profile losses of Jarrod Croker and Jack Wighton.
