Canterbury are keen on singing Raiders star centre Joey Leilua, according to The Daily Telegraph.

Joey Leilua is contracted until the end of next season, but has been given permission to negotiate with rival clubs and will be released early if he can reach an agreement.

The 27-year old's agent asked Canberra for a contract extension, but was instead told to look elsewhere as the Raiders struggles to accommodate for his $600,000-a-season salary.

Leilua would be a huge pick up for the Bulldogs, who desperately need to beef up their backline.

It would mark the Samoan international's fourth club, having played 200 NRL games for the Roosters, Newcastle and Canberra.

It is believed that the Bulldogs would need to offload a senior player to make room for Leilua.
