Parramatta Eels re-sign powerful forward Nathan Brown

The Parramatta Eels Rugby League Club has re-signed forward Nathan Brown for three years, extending his contract until the end of the 2020 season.Brown joined Parramatta Eels in 2017, and has become one of the most consistent players on the team, earning him the prestigious Ken Thornett Medal voted by his teammates as the NRL Player of the Year.Parramatta Eels Head Coach Brad Arthur said he was excited the Club has retained one our best forwards, “Nathan has developed into one of our most consistent performers. He brings a great deal of power and aggression to the team and I’m looking forward to seeing him continue his great form this season.”A fan favourite, Nathan won the Blue and Gold Army Members’ Player of the Year award in 2017, and Tackle of the Year at the NRL’s Dally M Medal Awards.Nathan made his NRL debut in 2013 with the West Tigers followed by a stint at South Sydney. He made his representative debut for the City team in 2017 and was selected in the 2017 Italian Rugby League World Cup squad.

"Gutho is a decent player albeit not fast nor the most skilful but he gives it his all each week. Don't mind him taking to refs but it does not always do much. I just wish our other forward can't played with his intensity each week. "

Excellent.

I can't recall our cap ever being in such a great place. We haven't paid overs and now we get to pick and choose. We hold all the cards not the player managers. Fantastic.

Great way to start the year. What a difference BA and Burnie have made to Parra. Players now want to come here and will come/stay for a fair wage not massive overs. Loving this club atm.

  Spot on Matt, all credit to BA for building a very competitive squad out of the Salary Cap debacle.
  
  Good to see Bernie working on re-signing our core talent.
