In a thrilling development for the Canberra Raiders, the club has welcomed Chris Lewis to their NRL coaching staff for the upcoming 2025 season.
Lewis, a former Melbourne Storm player who retired at the end of the 2024 season after a solid career, will now take on the role of NSW Cup Coach.
With Brock Shepperd making the jump to the NRL coaching team alongside Mick Crawley and Justin Giteau, Lewis is eager to make his mark in his new position.
His transition from player to coach has been described as a fast-break on the field, and he is prepared to tackle this new challenge head-on.
"I'm looking forward to working with the players and coaches at the Raiders, and I'm excited to bring my own unique perspective to the team," Lewis said in a post-match interview.
As Lewis takes on this new chapter in his rugby league journey, fans are buzzing with anticipation to see how he will lead the team to victory using his expertise and skills honed over years of playing the game.
It's sure to be a game-changer for the Raiders as they strive for success in the 2025 season.
