Injury-plagued forward Ryan Sutton is seeking another opportunity in the NRL as he aims for a career revival.

A former England 9s international, Sutton played four seasons with the Canberra Raiders from 2019 to 2022 before signing with the Canterbury Bulldogs for $550,000 a season. Unfortunately, his time there was marred by injuries that limited his impact.

Over the past three years, Sutton spent considerable time sidelined and was released by the Bulldogs in March. He was later picked up by the Gold Coast Titans on a train-and-trial basis.

However, his comeback was cut short when he suffered a ruptured biceps injury during training, stalling his career once more.

While there have been discussions about a move to the Super League, Sutton remains hopeful for an NRL comeback in the 2026 season, feeling fit as clubs gear up for the pre-season.

"I am ready and raring to go pre-season," he told The Daily Telegraph.

"It is the first opportunity that I've had in the last two to go into day one and be fully fighting fit. I've been non-stop training. The knee is feeling unbelievable."
