Canberra Raiders hooker Kurt Baptiste will remain with the club until the end of 2018, after agreeing to re-sign for a further two years.
Baptiste put together his best season in 2016, playing in 24 matches and providing the Raiders with invaluable spark and energy off the bench.
The two year deal will allow Baptiste to concentrate solely on the upcoming pre-season and said heโs excited to have the opportunity to continue his NRL career with the Raiders.
โItโs great to get it organised and Iโm really looking forward next two years and grateful for the opportunity the Raiders have given me,โ Baptiste said. โThis will take me to five years in total with the club and Iโve really found a home her in Canberra.โ
With Josh Hodgson establishing himself as the clubs premier hooker, Baptiste said heโs keen to keep continuing the role he played in 2016 and continue to make valuable contributions for the team.
โJosh is obviously the number one hooker, but Iโm looking forward to staying in the side and hopefully being there for round one,โ he said. โThereโs plenty of depth in the team and there will be guys fighting for positions right across the park.โ
