Jamal Fogarty has informed the Raiders he will be leaving the club at the end of the season, and is set to sign a three-year deal worth around $2m.
Raiders CEO Don Furner suspected as early as last week Fogarty would be swapping the nation’s capital for the northern beaches, and said on Tuesday morning: “We wish Jamal all the best.”

Canberra offered a two-year deal worth around $1.3m, but Fogarty, 31, was swayed by the third season at the Sea Eagles.
Fogarty will replace outgoing halfback Daly Cherry-Evans, who is yet to announce what he will do beyond this season, but widely expected to join the Sydney Roosters on a one-year deal.
The Sea Eagles skipper was a standout in the win over Penrith on the weekend, and even at 36 remains in the mix to wear the Queensland No. 7 jersey.
Fogarty’s deal with the Sea Eagles will not feature any options in the club or player’s favour.
