Kaeo Weekes, a former Sea Eagle, has secured a new contract with the Canberra Raiders, making him a potential replacement for Jack Wighton.

The Raiders were left with a void in their halves when Wighton decided to join the Rabbitohs next season.

However, they were unable to acquire any experienced playmakers, making Weekes a viable option for the No.6 jersey.

Weekes had a challenging time at Manly, only playing 12 games over two seasons and falling down the pecking order due to injuries to other players.
