Hayne is officially an Eel

The Parramatta National Rugby League Club is pleased to announce the signing of Jarryd Hayne for the 2018 season.

Jarryd has today expressed excitement at the prospect of returning to the Club he supported as a child and resuming a relationship with our players, Members and fans.

“As I said yesterday, my decision to return to Sydney wasn’t taken lightly so I am grateful that Brad and the Eels have offered me the opportunity to return to the Club,” Hayne said.

“Eels Members and fans have been behind me throughout my career and I want to use this second chance to repay that faith and support.”

“I look forward to returning to training in early January 2018 and am keen to work hard and play my part for the team in building on last year’s finals run.”

Parramatta Eels CEO Bernie Gurr said that the Club was pleased that one of its most talented local juniors has returned home.

“Jarryd started playing for our Club as a 15 year old, so we are pleased that he now has the opportunity to return and be part of a strong squad and playing culture that Brad Arthur has developed over the past few seasons.” Gurr said.

“From speaking with Jarryd, he is keen to join his teammates in early January and is committed to working with Brad and our players to build on our excellent 2017 season. Jarryd’s abilities will strengthen our 2018 player roster and we look forward to again seeing Jarryd in the Blue & Gold”.

"Some have difficulty shifting their own thought process and accepting that we are in the process of positive change. That's why there's always a BUT or a MAYBE or an IF inserted somewhere in their viewpoint - a caveat in case things don't work…"

"Max POPO is our version of Cam MURRAY. ( early early comparisions ). If POPO doesnt do his knee in the first 15 minutes of Sg Ball GF we win comfortably on the back of his workload and defence. He is a champion bloke, super respectful , does all…"

"The good luck cycle for us is if Mitchell Moses stays injury free for the most part for the next couple or 3 seasons.If this happens and the talent around him improves then we'll no doubt see success.That's the luck we are after as the last 2-3…"
