The Canberra Raiders can confirm the re-signing of Xavier Savage, who will remain with the club until the end of the 2027 season.
The two-year extension will see Savage remain a Raider for the next three seasons, as he looks to build on his impressive start to his NRL career.
Savage played 24 matches at NRL level in 2024, scoring 15 tries and establishing himself in the NRL team with his best season in green.
Savage said the decision to stay in Canberra was an easy one, and he’s keen to build on his achievements in 2024 over the next three seasons.
“I’m clearly very happy here and I am happy to stay here with the Raiders. I’m just glad that the deal is done and I’m locked in for a further two years. I just can’t wait,” Savage said.
“I’m very happy with how I went last year but I’ve definitely got a lot more left in the tank. Now it’s time to keep training hard and turn it up again next year. It’s exciting.
“This has become my second home now. I love Canberra and I’m trying to build a legacy down here”
Raiders CEO Don Furner said Savage was key component in the Raiders plans moving forward and looked forward to his continued development as an NRL player.
“We’ve always known Xavier had the talent to make it in the NRL, but this year in particular he showed the club his desire to work hard and take his game to the next level,” Furner said.
“Xavier is still very young at age 22 and we know he still has his best football in front of him and we’re happy it’s with the Raiders.”
