Jack Wighton could be on the move for the first time in his NRL career after telling Canberra he plans to test the open market.

CEO Don Furner acknowledged it could be the five-eighth’s last big contract and encouraged him to consider his options.

“Jack has been incredibly loyal to the Raiders over 14 seasons and never tested himself on the market, he has always committed to this club,” Furner told AAP.

“Jack has a very young family, and this could be his last contract, so he should make sure he is absolutely 100 per cent comfortable with his decision.

“The Raiders will do whatever we can to keep Jack a one-club player and will continue to talk to his management about a package to retain him.”
