Canberra Raiders fullback Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad will depart the club at the end of the 2022 season, to take up a new deal with the New Zealand Warriors.
Nicoll-Klokstad (Raider #355) was contracted to the Raiders for the 2023 season, but the Raiders have given him permission to secure a long-term deal with the Warriors.
Arriving in Canberra in 2019, Nicoll-Klokstad established himself as the club’s first choice fullback and has played 66 matches for the Raiders.
He was part of the Raiders team which made their way to the Grand Final in 2019 and the Preliminary Final in 2020.
Raiders CEO Don Furner said the club thanked Charnze for his contribution during his time in Canberra and said he’d continue to be a valuable member of the squad in 2022 before he departs for the Warriors.
“Charnze arrived in Canberra in 2019 looking for an opportunity to further his NRL career and took that opportunity with both hands,” Furner said. “He’s been a very good for the club both on and off the field and we wish him all the best for the rest of this season before he returns home to New Zealand to be closer to his family next year.”
