Canberra Raiders junior Matt Frawley has returned to the club for the 2020 season, after signing a one-year development contract.

Frawley returns to the club after spending 2019 with Huddersfield in the English Super League and four seasons with the Bulldogs (2015-2018) where he played 31 NRL matches between 2017 and 2018.

A Canberra Raiders junior, Frawley said he’s looking forward to the opportunity of returning to Canberra and impressing the coaching staff with a big pre-season.

“It’s great to be back home and I guess you can say I’ve come full circle since playing my junior footy here,” Frawley said. “I’m looking forward to having the chance to train really hard this pre-season and hopefully get an opportunity to get back into the NRL.”

Frawley joins Darby Medlyn, Andrew Niko, Jarrett Subloo and Kai O’Donnell as one of the Raiders development squad players. Ata Hingano has been released to take up an opportunity elsewhere.
