Corey Harawira-Naera is seeking a second opinion in a bid to keep his NRL career alive.

The popular Canberra Raiders forward needs a medical clearance to be allowed to firstly return to contact training and then to return to play.

He's been sidelined since he suffered a terrifying seizure during the Raiders-South Sydney game at Homebush in May last year - more than 10 months ago - when he was taken to hospital in an ambulance after collapsing on the field during play.

The 24-year-old signed a new deal last year to remain with the Gold Coast, but has a player option in his favour for the next two years.

Fifita was an admirer of former coach Justin Holbrook, who was axed last season by the Titans and replaced by Des Hasler this year, which has seen the side produce two awful displays in losses against the Dragons and Bulldogs.
