Canberra Raiders coach believes Hudson Young will stay, despite injury and approaching contract negotiations with rival clubs.
Canberra Raiders coach Ricky Stuart is confident Hudson Young will remain in the nation's capital beyond his current contract, despite the star back-rower's future dominating headlines in recent months.
Young, who has been sidelined since Round 20 with a season-ending Achilles injury, remains contracted to the Raiders until the end of the 2027 season.
However, unless he agrees to a new deal before November 1, the NSW Origin representative will be free to negotiate with rival clubs on the open market.
The Raiders are understood to have tabled the biggest contract in the club's history to retain Young, with a reported three-year extension worth $3.3 million.
