Latest News about Victor Radley
Victor Radley said he is open to a move to Super League, which could happen as early as 2028. His contract with the Sydney Roosters runs to the end of the 2027 NRL season, and he is free to talk to rival clubs from 1 November. He also said he needs to change his management team before any deal is completed.
Radley was moved to the bench for England's Rugby League World Cup match against Papua New Guinea, with Morgan Knowles starting at loose forward in his place. Radley has been part of England's World Cup squad in Australia and Papua New Guinea.
The Sydney Roosters lifted the ten-match unpaid ban they had imposed on Radley in September 2025, making him available for NRL selection from Round 6 of the 2026 season. The club said the decision followed a proposal from its football director and head coach outlining the work Radley had done since the sanction.
