The Canberra Raiders have received a boost just days from their blockbuster elimination semi-final against the Sydney Roosters after announcing the re-signing of club favourite Sia Soliola.

Soliola will turn 35 next year but has agree to play on in 2021.

“I’m really pumped. First and foremost, I want to thank the club for giving me another opportunity to play,” Soliola said.

“The year I’ve had has been a strange one but it its really nice at 34 to be playing the game I love. I’m really enjoying it and it’s a great group of guys and I think this club is going to be a consistent title contender for the future and I want to be part of that.”

Canberra clash with the defending back-to-back champions at the SCG this weekend with a preliminary final chance on the line.
