Canberra veteran Josh Papalii is preparing to extend his storied rugby league career in the English Super League.

The 34-year-old has been told by the Canberra Raiders that 2026 will be his final year at the club, bringing an end to one of the most enduring one-club careers in modern rugby league.

The Raiders' most-capped player is now actively exploring a move to the UK, with a Super League switch emerging as his preferred next step.
