Canberra Raiders forward Elliott Whitehead has revealed he is keen to remain with the club beyond the end of his playing career.

Whitehead has played 187 games for the green machine since moving from the English Super League at the end of 2015, where he has previously played 177 games in that competition across stints with the Bradford Bulls and Catalans Dragons.

The 33-year-old forward has a single year remaining on his current deal, and could cross the 200-game barrier for the Raiders in that time, where he has become a leader of Ricky Stuart's squad and one of the club's most important players.

After rumours emerged that Matt Frawley could find himself moving away from Canberra, the Raiders playmaker has reportedly secured a deal with another club.

Frawley, who has previous experience playing in the Super League, is set to return to the overseas rugby league competition next season after a stint playing under Ricky Stuart with the Canberra Raiders.

Off-contract at the end of 2023, Leeds Live has reported that the playmaker has secured a deal with the Leeds Rhinos, and it is understood that the contract has been completed. It is currently unknown what type of deal and how long he will be at Leeds.

The Canberra Raiders will have to scour the market or back an untested prospect to help fill the halves void, but Jamal Fogarty is confident the club can find him a partner despite his own plans to test free agency.

The Raiders will begin their finals campaign in Newcastle on Sunday and are confident they have the firepower to match the in-form Knights, with Fogarty to partner Matt Frawley in the halves and Jack Wighton waiting to strike in the centres.

But a post-season halves dilemma is brewing after Frawley confirmed his departure from the club, leaving Canberra with just one recognised NRL half for the 2024 campaign.
