Morgan Smithies is negotiating a contract extension with the Raiders through 2029.
Canberra Raiders forward Morgan Smithies is in the process of negotiating his long-term future, with a contract extension reportedly on the table through to the end of 2029.
Smithies has been a revelation with the Raiders since joining from the English Super League, with his hard-nosed play on the edge and in the middle seeing him become a permanent part of Ricky Stuart's best 17 who took out the minor premiership in 2025.
All signs point to him re-signing though, with The Canberra Times reporting a three-year extension through to the end of 2029 is on the table.
CEO Don Furner revealed Smithies' contract negotiations were on hold while he was overseas, having played in the Rugby League World Cup, and then being on holidays, but admitted they are keen to get a deal done before the end of the year.
