Canberra Raiders sign hooker Jayden Brailey from Newcastle Knights to strengthen team's spine in 2026.
The Canberra Raiders have made a significant move to strengthen their team's spine with the signing of hooker Jayden Brailey on a two-year deal starting in 2026.
Brailey, who has played 133 NRL games since his debut in 2017, is expected to provide leadership and depth to the team's dummy-half options.
Currently with the Newcastle Knights, Brailey has played 64 games for the club since 2020 and is highly regarded in the dressing room.
Raiders recruitment boss Joel Carbone expressed his excitement about bringing Brailey on board, stating, "We're excited to have Jayden join the club from 2026 and know we have a player coming to us with valuable NRL experience and leadership qualities." This signing will undoubtedly strengthen the Raiders' hooker position and provide them with a player who can make a significant impact on and off the field.
