In a move that has fans cheering and opponents sweating, Canberra Raiders playmaker Adam Cook has made a game-changing decision regarding his future after clinching the coveted title of 2024 NSW Cup Player of the Year.
After a triumphant return to the Raiders following a two-year hiatus from the team, Cook's outstanding performance this season earned him not only the 2024 Brad Fittler Medal but also a spot in six NRL matches.
With a stellar record of scoring 150 points, leading the competition in try assists (21), and line-break assists (20), Cook played a pivotal role in guiding his team to the finals, although they were narrowly defeated by the eventual champions, Newtown Jets.
Displaying impeccable support for teammates Ethan Strange and Jamal Fogarty in the halves, Cook's expertise shone through as he started in five out of his six NRL appearances, marking his long-awaited return to the elite competition after 1369 days.
Though the official confirmation is pending, The Canberra Times has hinted at Adam Cook's decision to extend his tenure with the club through a promising two-year contract, securing his place in the Top 30 roster starting from 2025.
This strategic move further solidifies Cook's position as a key player in the Raiders' lineup, ensuring a bright future for both him and the team as they tackle the challenges ahead with unwavering determination and skill.
