In his first season since retiring from playing duties, Canberra Raiders legend Jarrod Croker will remain with the club in a coaching role in 2024.

The 300-gamer will work with players across all grades in a dual role as outside backs and goal kicking coach.

“It’s an honour to have the opportunity to remain with the Raiders in this new role and I’m really keen to work with players from right across the grades to help them as much as I can.” Croker said.

“I’ll be looking to bring my own experiences and what I’ve learnt over my career, and pass on what I’ve learnt to the next generation of Raiders players.”

Raiders CEO Don Furner said having Croker remain with the club in this new role would be a valuable addition to the staff and his experience and expertise would benefit players across the club.

“Jarrod has a wealth of experience and knowledge of the game and we’re lucky to have him join the club’s coaching staff in this role,” Furner said.

“He is the leading point scorer in club history and sits third on the all-time NRL point scoring list, so his standing among the game in particular his goal kicking is something that will be extremely valuable. Jarrod is a good communicator and will have no problems passing on his knowledge and tips to our young players.

“The fact that he’ll also be working with the club’s junior representative and Jersey Flegg teams is another huge positive for the club, as they get to learn from someone who has been through the pathway system from under 16’s right through to the NRL.”
