Canberra Raiders are negotiating to extend Matty Nicholson's contract amid concerns over Hudson Young's potential departure after 2027.
Negotiations have begun with Canberra Raiders forward Matty Nicholson to keep him in the nation's capital beyond the end of next year.
Nicholson has had a highly disrupted 2026 campaign following off-season surgery on his shoulder, but has returned to the paddock and played four out of the last five games for the Raiders.
Before the shoulder concern was the syndesmosis and fractured fibula injury, which wiped him out for four months in his debut year at the club in 2025.
The Daily Telegraph reports the Raiders are looking to secure Nicholson amid fears Hudson Young could potentially be leaving the club after 2027 after having not yet signed a fresh deal.
