Canberra Raiders cult hero Sia Soliola has called time on his rugby league career after 17 seasons at the top.

The veteran prop played at both the Raiders and Sydney Roosters which included a stint in the Super League in between.

“I’m at ease with everything now,” Soliola told raiders.com.au.

“There’s a few mixed emotions, I’m excited and a bit nervous but relieved to make the decision to leave the game which has given me a lot and I’m looking forward to what’s ahead.”
