Ryan James to join Canberra in 2021

Canberra Raiders have signed Gold Coast Titans forward Ryan James on a two-year deal from 2021.

The 29-year-old has made 144 NRL appearances for the Titans since making his debut in 2010. He has also represented the Indigenous All Stars five times.

James said: “I’m looking forward to the challenge of heading to Canberra and working with Ricky Stuart and the Raiders squad.

“The Titans have been a wonderful club for me, and I’ll be forever grateful for what they’ve done for my career.”

Raiders’ recruitment and high performance director Peter Mulholland said: “We know what Ryan can bring to our club with his football and leadership.

“He’s a tremendous talent who leads by example on and off the field and we believe he will be valuable addition to our forward pack, particularly for some of our up and coming players.”
