His most recent outing came in the Raiders\u2019 62\u201324 defeat to the Dolphins at Kayo Stadium. The Green Machine had granted the young prop permission to explore opportunities with rival clubs, opening the door for Newcastle\u2019s move.<\/p>\n<p>This is a powerful addition to their forward pack, bringing size, energy and room to develop across the long-term deal. The signing fits with Newcastle\u2019s strategy of investing in emerging forwards to build depth and resilience for the seasons ahead.<\/p>\n<p>For Mooney, the switch provides a chance to establish himself as a regular first-grade starter after four seasons of limited opportunities in Canberra\u2019s middle rotation.<\/p>\n<p>Quick Facts<\/p>\n<p>Name: Trey Mooney<\/p>\n<p>Age: 23<\/p>\n<p>Position: Prop \/ Second Row<\/p>\n<p>Previous Club: Canberra Raiders (2022\u20132025)<\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udcc4 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newcastleknights.com.au\/news\/2025\/09\/10\/knights-sign-mooney\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Official Newcastle Knights statement<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Newcastle Knights have confirmed the signing of Trey Mooney from the Canberra Raiders on a four-year contract beginning&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":14689,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[567],"tags":[64,63,4532,4495,92550,92551,92552,760,92553,85,92554],"class_list":["post-134090","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-rugby","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-canberra-raiders","tag-newcastle-knights","tag-nrl-2026","tag-nrl-news","tag-player-signings","tag-rugby","tag-rugby-league-transfers","tag-sports","tag-trey-mooney"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/134090","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=134090"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/134090\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/14689"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=134090"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=134090"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=134090"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
