Ethan Sanders confirms contract extension with Canberra Raiders by November 1, after being named rookie of the year.
Canberra Raiders star Ethan Sanders has confirmed he will be locked away on a new deal with the club by November 1.
The halfback had a slow start to his first-grade career in the nation's capital during 2026, but spend the second half of the year as one of Canberra's best players.
It was enough for him to be named rookie of the year at the Dally M Medal ceremony on Wednesday evening, with Sanders seeing off the challenge from Melbourne Storm debutant Cooper Clarke.
Sanders is off-contract at the end of 2027 and could talk to clubs about his future from November 1, but told Fox Sports that it won't be happening.
