Recently making the switch from the Manly Sea Eagles to the Canberra Raiders, rising young playmaker Callum Dowell has opened up on his rugby league journey and revealed his aspirations ahead of the 2026 season.

Over the past couple of seasons, the Canberra Raiders have recruited some of the game's best young players, such as Ethan Strange and Savelio Tamale, as they aim to establish themselves as a premiership contender for the next decade.

Originally from Aberdeen in the Hunter region of New South Wales, Dowell will arrive at the nation's capital after two seasons at the Sea Eagles, in which he proved his worth not only on the field but also amongst the playing group, which saw him named the club's 2025 Jersey Flegg Cup Players' Player award.

Now he is ready for the next challenge in his career.
