A former South Sydney Rabbitohs player has joined the Canberra Raiders as the club has confirmed their Top 30 roster and supplementary players for next season.
Originally tossed up as a potential replacement for Adam Reynolds after his departure from Redfern, 26-year-old Troy Dargan has joined the Raiders after playing two NRL matches for the Rabbitohs in the 2020 season.
The Cook Islands international has signed with the club on a supplementary contract and will be joined by Michael Asomua, Jordan Martin, Noah Martin, Vena Patuki-Case
and Adrian Trevilyan.
For the club's Top 30 squad, youngsters Brad Morkos, Chevy Stewart and Ethan Strange have been elevated, whilst Kaeo Weekes, Simi Sasagi and Morgan Smithies have been signed from other NRL clubs.
This comes after they lost Jarrod Croker (retired), Zane Dunford (Manly Sea Eagles), Matt Frawley (Leeds Rhinos), Brad Schneider (Penrith Panthers), Semi Valemei (North Queensland Cowboys), Jack Wighton (South Sydney Rabbitohs) for the 2024 season.
