Canberra confirm signing of Wigan youngster Harry Rushton
Canberra have signed young back-rower Harry Rushton from Wigan on a three-year deal from 2021.
The 18-year-old will join the Raiders ahead of the start of 2021 pre-season training and will be included in Canberra’s top 30 squad.
Raiders’ NRL recruitment and high performance director, Peter Mulholland, said: “Harry is one of the most promising young back-rowers in the United Kingdom.
“We’ve had a lot of success with the Englishmen that we’ve brought over and Harry is another player who we see as having a lot of potential and who will fit in with our organisation.
“By the end of his first pre-season we’ll be looking to get him into our Under-20s team so he can get some experience and work his way through our pathway system.”
