Morgan Smithies of the Raiders discusses a potential contract extension until 2029.
The Canberra Raiders forward, Morgan Smithies, is currently in discussions about his long-term future, with a contract extension reportedly available until the end of 2029.
Since joining from the English Super League, Smithies has made a significant impact with the Raiders. His tough playing style both on the edge and in the middle has established him as a permanent member of Ricky Stuart's top 17, which clinched the minor premiership in 2025.
Despite being off-contract at the end of 2026, Smithies has been eligible to negotiate with other teams since November 1, leading to speculation about a possible departure from the Raiders.
