The Canberra Raiders are deeply saddened by the passing of squad member Troy Dargan, who tragically lost his life in an accident early yesterday morning.
Troy had only been in Canberra since the commencement of the pre-season, but had already established a number of friendships within the current playing group.
Raiders CEO Don Furner said the club would do everything they could to respect Troy’s family and assist where they could.
“This is a very sad time for Troy’s family and friends, and we will be respecting their privacy and offering support where we can, to help them at this tough time,” Mr Furner said. “Troy was just 26 years old, and we were looking forward to him having the opportunity to further his NRL Career with our club.
“The news is also very sad for Troy’s current teammates, and we will be offering support to any of them who need it at this time.”
Troy’s family has established a GofundMe page to assist in the cost of bringing Troy back from the Cook Islands where the accident occurred.
