The Dyldam Parramatta Eels have today announced the signing of Rory O’Brien to the club, and the re-signings of Ryan Morgan and Daniel Alvaro.
26-year-old prop Rory O’Brien will join the Blue and Gold on a one-year deal, after making his NRL debut with the St George Illawarra Dragons this year.
Outside back Ryan Morgan, 25, has extended his time with the Eels for an additional two seasons, after making his debut for the club in 2011.
22-year-old forward Daniel Alvaro made his first grade debut for the Eels in Round 12 this season, and has re-signed for 2016.
“Rory is a hard working prop whose dedication and effort has paid off with him making his first grade debut this year,” Head Coach Brad Arthur said.
“Daniel has impressed everyone with his attitude to training and his respect for the elder players at the club, and is very deserving of his first grade spot, while Ryan is an experienced first-grader, and is a versatile part of our backline.”

Wasn't Rory an Eels junior?
Differen't Rory. This is Rory O'Brien, we had Rory Brien. O'Brien is much bigger but he's made of glass :p
Is he any good?
That's what I was thinking. Must've been really cheap. He might just be scraping into the Top 25 as we've signed him so late in the season.
Not top 25 and the Dragons will be paying a part of his salary.
Alvaro has shown promise; just need him to get more size about him
Brad Arthur sure loves wentworthvile. But great news about alvaro! forza alvaro - the italian stallion!
