Mackenzie Wiki creates history with Raiders Deal

Cook Islands international Mackenzie Wiki has made history as the first daughter of a former NRL star to play for the same club after she signed with the Raiders.

Her father, legendary NRL, Kiwi International & ARL Hall of Famer, Ruben Wiki, started off his impressive career with Canberra in 1993 playing a total of 224 games in the Raiders green.

“It feels surreal. I’m truly grateful to be a part of this amazing club,” Wiki said to International Rugby League 

“It’s an honour to follow my Dad at the same club. His first club was Raiders, now my first club is Raiders. It’s just surreal.”

Towards the end of last year Mackenzie toured the Raiders facility with her father Ruben proudly wearing her Dad’s Raiders number #153, after recently returning from representing the Cook Islands at the Rugby League World Cup in the UK.
