Canberra have re-signed winger Jordan Rapana for the rest of the 2020 season.

The 30-year-old returns to the Raiders after a short stint in Japan with the Panasonic Wild Knights. Rapana scored 69 tries in 113 games for Canberra between 2014-19.

Rapana has earned 11 caps for New Zealand on the international stage – and has also represented the Cook Islands on three occasions.

Raiders chief executive Don Furner said: “We’re thrilled to be able to have Jordan join us for the remainder of the 2020 season.

“We know what quality he brings to the side and he adds another dimension of depth in our outside-backs.

“He’s a popular member of the playing group and it will be great to have his character around the dressing room.”
