Canberra Raiders targeting English player Matty Nicholson, close to signing with club for 2025.
The Canberra Raiders have another up-and-coming English player in their sights as Ricky Stuart's rebuild continues.
The Canberra Times has confirmed Warrington Wolves rising star Matty Nicholson is very close to officially signing with the Raiders, with the club in a "positive" position to beat out four other NRL rivals vying for the 20-year-old's signature.
The second-rower could secure a contract starting in 2025 as early as this week, which would make him the Raiders' seventh English recruit in the past decade.
