SYDNEY Nov20: England Test hooker Josh Hodgson has re-signed with the Canberra Raiders until the the end of the 2022 National Rugby League season, the club said on Monday.
The new contract is an extension of his current deal which finishes at the end of the 2018 season with the Raiders. Hodgson, who is preparing to play in England's World Cup semi-final against Tonga in Auckland on Saturday, said he was excited to remain in Canberra.
“There's no way I'd sign long term if I didn't believe this group of players were able to achieve great things, so a big part of the decision was staying at a club who I believe will have long-term success,” Hodgson said.
“I'm really enjoying the World Cup experience and hopefully we can continue through the tournament, but I'm also looking forward to get ready for next season.” Raiders CEO Don Furner said the club was confident in their decision to retain Hodgson on a long-term deal and his value for the club both on and off the field were important factors in the new contract. The former Hull Kingston Rovers hooker moved to Canberra in 2015. AFP
