I’ll be here forever! Corey Harawira-Naera set to retire as a Raider

 

Corey Harawira-Naera is expected to commit his long-term future to the Canberra Raiders, with reports suggesting the Kiwi forward will sign a permanent contract that will see him remain at the club until retirement. After recovering from a shocking on-field collapse in 2023, Harawira-Naera has shown resilience, leadership, and loyalty, making him a core figure in Ricky Stuart’s squad.

 

The proposed deal is believed to span several years and could keep him in green until his mid-30s. Insiders close to the negotiations say the club values Harawira-Naera’s influence both on and off the field, particularly his mentorship to younger players and dedication to community programs. His powerful running game, versatility, and experience have made him an indispensable asset.

 

“This club gave me a second chance, and I want to repay that by seeing out my career here,” Harawira-Naera reportedly told teammates.

 

The Raiders are undergoing a transformation period, with key veterans re-signing and a focus on building a competitive future. Harawira-Naera’s decision to stay could be a major boost to morale and stability. A formal announcement is expected soon, marking a major step in the Raiders’ long-term strategy.
