Canberra has signed former Gold Coast Titan's player Jordan Rapana until the end of 2014 in a move to bolster the NRL club's outside backs depth.
Rapana has been brought into the squad after the long term losses of Edrick Lee (broken arm) and suspended NSW winger Blake Ferguson (indecent assault charge).
The 23-year-old scored five tries in five games for the Gold Coast Titans in 2008 and 2009 before taking up a two year mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in England and Wales.
He then had a brief stint with the Western Force in Super Rugby in 2012 before arriving in Canberra in a bid to make the Brumbies squad, but has decided on a return to rugby league through the Raiders instead.
The Wellington born flyer has been playing for the Queanbeyan Blues in the TTM Canberra Raiders Cup.
He said he was thrilled about his return to rugby league.
"I feel like it's my first day at school meeting all the new boys," he said.
"Hopefully I can get stuck in and play some NSW Cup as soon as possible and set some goals to play some NRL."
