Canberra star Josh Hodgson has confirmed that he has quit as Raiders captain as reports link him to a potential move to Brisbane<\/a>.<\/p>\n

"I can assure everyone that I remain fully committed to the club and I'm looking forward to getting myself back to 100 per cent fitness and helping the team get their season back on track.<\/p>\n

"I know internally we're all working extremely hard to turn things around and the playing group and staff have been fully committed to each other and the club."<\/p>\n
