Fogarty was named in Ricky Stuart's starting line-up to face Parramatta at Canberra Stadium on Sunday afternoon for Indigenous Round.

The former Titan will trot out as Raider number 384 in his first appearance in the Canberra jersey since injuring his knee during a warm-up drill before a trial match against Manly earlier this year.

He's not the only high-profile Raider returning to the side, with co-captain Jarrod Croker cleared to play again following a minor shoulder injury suffered two weeks ago against the Bulldogs.

The veteran centre will notch his 293rd game as the chase for a milestone 300th continues. That move shifts Matt Timoko to the other side of the field in the centres.

Speedy youngster Xavier Savage will also get his first start at fullback this season due to Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad's hamstring injury. The club announced Nicoll-Klokstad will be sidelined for the next six weeks.

The first-choice No.1 came off the field at half-time last week clutching his leg in pain, and scans this week have confirmed a high hamstring injury.

Savage showed flashes of his exhilarating speed in last week's thumping of the Rabbitohs, zipping through a lethargic South Sydney defence in Dubbo to score his first try of the year.

Rookie hooker Zac Woolford retains his starting role in rotation with Tom Starling, fresh off his court appearance in Sydney.

Meanwhile, in-form Sebastian Kris was dropped to the bench to make way for Croker's return. Alongside Kris will be big men Corey Horsburgh and Ryan Sutton, who has bounced back from a rough bout of the flu. Brad Schneider and Matt Frawley were named as reserves, with Fogarty and Wighton leading the way in the halves.
