In fact, Levi has been limited to just two NRL appearances, with 21 games in the New South Wales Cup for the Raiders instead.<\/p>\n<p>But, in taking to social media to confirm his exit from Canberra, Levi appeared to confirm he was not done with rugby league at the highest level yet, asking: \u201cWho\u2019s hiring?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He posted: \u201cThank you Canberra for making the last 3 years home for me and my little family. Great town, Great people and the best bunch of boys!

Who\u2019s hiring?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Levi would undoubtedly be a fine pick-up for any Super League side on the hunt for a hooker in 2026. With the increase in the overseas quota, it would make any return to England more likely too, as most clubs have traditionally completed their overseas recruitment by this stage in the year.<\/p>\n<p>However, Levi may yet decide to return in Australia and push for another NRL contract. The hooker began his career with Newcastle and has also had spells with Brisbane and Manly throughout his playing days.<\/p>\n<p>WEDNESDAY\u2019S READS ON LRL<\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udc49\ud83c\udffb <a href=\"https:\/\/www.loverugbyleague.com\/post\/every-super-league-clubs-average-attendance-in-2025\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Ranking every Super League club\u2019s average attendance in 2025, with SIX clubs above 10,000<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udc49\ud83c\udffb <a href=\"https:\/\/www.loverugbyleague.com\/post\/grading-each-of-super-leagues-bottom-six-in-2025-with-warrington-getting-the-lowest-marks\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Grading each of Super League\u2019s bottom six in 2025 with Warrington getting the lowest marks<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udc49\ud83c\udffb <a href=\"https:\/\/www.loverugbyleague.com\/post\/jared-waerea-hargreaves-seals-nrl-return-in-2026-as-new-role-revealed\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Jared Waerea-Hargreaves seals NRL return in 2026 as new role revealed<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udc49\ud83c\udffb <a href=\"https:\/\/www.loverugbyleague.com\/post\/hull-fc-prop-wants-to-return-to-nrl-in-2026-despite-new-deal-report\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Hull FC prop \u2018wants to return to NRL\u2019 in 2026 despite new deal \u2013 report<\/a><\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Canberra Raiders hooker Danny Levi has confirmed he will be leaving the club at the end of the&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":166378,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[568],"tags":[64,63,761,762,158,85],"class_list":{"0":"post-166377","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nrl","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-national-rugby-league","11":"tag-nationalrugbyleague","12":"tag-nrl","13":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/166377","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=166377"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/166377\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/166378"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=166377"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=166377"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=166377"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
