Canberra Raiders co-captain Jarrod Croker has confirmed he will make his return to the field in the side's pre-season trial against the Canterbury Bulldogs on February 23.

Croker has been out of action since round 18 last year, when he crumbled to the GIO Stadium turf after dislocating a knee, sparking the longest period out of the game due to injury for the 230-game veteran.

The 28-year-old said he hasn't held back during the Raiders' contact sessions, and that the worst injury of his career was behind him.
