Jarrod Croker has announced he will retire from the NRL at the end of 2023 after 15 seasons and over 300 matches for the Canberra Raiders. Details:
Croker made his debut for the Raiders in 2009 against the Roosters at GIO Stadium Canberra and has achieved several significant club and NRL milestones in a wonderful career.
He holds the records for the Raiders in points scored and tries scored while also sitting third on the list of all-time NRL point scorers behind Cameron Smith and Hazem El Masri. Over the course of his career, he has won the clubs player of the year award , the Dally M Captain of the year award and the Provan-Summons medal and was Captain alongside Josh Hodgson in the Raiders Grand Final appearance in 2019.
Croker said the decision to retire from the game was something that had been on his mind in recent times and he’s decided that the end of the current season is the right timing for him to finish his career. “I’ve been weighing the decision up over the past couple of weeks and although my heart and mind wants to keep playing for the club I love, the reality is that my body knows it’s time for me to retire,” Croker said. “I’m comfortable with the decision I’ve made and I now get to spend the remainder of the year working alongside my teammates as we look to push towards the finals.”
