We love the mighty Canberra Raiders
Canberra Raiders middle forward and State of Origin debutant Corey Horsburgh has reportedly locked up a long-term contract upgrade at the club.
While "Big Red" is already contracted until the end of the 2024 campaign with a player option until the end of 2025, News Corp are reporting his new deal will keep him in the nation's capital until at least the end of 2027.
It's believed the deal will be worth $2.3 million, putting the forward on around $600,000 per year over the next four seasons.
Corey Horsburgh's close to agreeing to a two-year extension that will keep him with the Canberra Raiders until at least the end of 2027.
And, in a big boost ahead of their top-four-defining clash against the Melbourne Storm on Sunday, it could be finalised as soon as this weekend.
Horsburgh's manager Jeff Jurotte met with Raiders coach Ricky Stuart and recruitment boss Joel Carbone in Canberra on Monday for "fruitful discussions".
The Canberra Raiders are gearing up for their upcoming clash against the Storm, looking to secure their second consecutive victory after a resilient performance against the Tigers last week.
Currently sitting just one spot below the Storm on the ladder, this match will be crucial for both teams as they battle it out for the coveted fourth position and a spot in the finals.
The Storm, coming off a disappointing 26-6 loss to the Panthers, will face a determined Raiders side that aims to capitalize on their recent winning streak.
