for an extra three years until the end of the 2027 NRLW season.
“It’s terrific for the club, it’s great for our region. For some of the young girls coming through it’s a good clear message that you don’t have to leave the area to go and follow your dreams, there’s a club here that’s in the NRLW now and it’s a reality, anything can happen," said Raiders coach Darrin Borthwick.

"I'm so excited to be back with the Dragons,"
"I absolutely loved my time last season with the team and knew it wouldn't be a one-and-done type thing. I've still got so much to learn in the sport and I'm super excited to continue that growth with the team and Sowie."
