Volkman’s form this season has seen him establish himself as a key contributor, with the talented playmaker continuing to build confidence and consistency under Head Coach Jason Ryles.
Parramatta Eels General Manager of Football Mark O'Neill said Volkman's re-signing was a deserved reward for his dedication and performances.
"The positive environment which Jason Ryles has created at the Club has provided some stability for Ronald where he is playing his best football of his career.
"He has earned this opportunity with some wonderful individual and team performances, and he will only continue to improve," O'Neill said.
Volkman has enjoyed an outstanding season recording 10 try assists from 17 appearances and adds further stability to the Eels' roster as the Club continues to build towards the future under Ryles' leadership.

Why is it concerning when it's a team who struggles to attract talent you got to give the money to someone and while junior is well into the back 9 he's still the clubs best middle so he'll get paid accordingly.
If we can pay Mitchell 1.3 the last 3 yrs for playing what 50-60 % of games I guess junior falls in a similar category.
Why are you concerned so much are they spending your money or something.
The real concern is we struggle to attract talent we've got this fantasy island list I suspect that's where the real concern lies not who we give money to within our boundaries it's attracting the difference makers from the outside that's the real concern.
Players such as Tannah Boyde would be on the 480 to 550k money. Now Boyd has plenty of experience and was first choice halfback for many games taking over that role at the warriors as the chief playmaker leading them to many victories.
Volkman has only 25 fg games at 24 yo, has had very serious injuries and has played a handful of good matches for the eels. He isn't regarded as a starting player and we signed Luai also. Then he had very little interest since Nov 1 lat year and only a late bid from the dogs .
So poppa comes in saying he's worth half a million dollars - unbelievable. He's comparing Volkman to a absolute starting halfback like Boyd.
Pops, - the reserve grade 1ee site is calling
Super. Hurry. We need a reserve grade site asap.
A player similar to Volkman for me is like a jock madden at wests. Has a lot of talent but still working their way into a full time nrl spot. Volkman gets to learn under luai and Moses which is probably the best spot to be in for him at 24 years old. Doesn't get any better
Yes eli. Madden wouldn't be on much also. Maybe 250k around that mark.
I don't get the learn off Luai BS how can you learn off someone whose going to have a limited off season prep because of third party commitments elsewhere and is only here for 5 minutes.
If I'm learning anything off Luai it's the business side of it and setting yourself up for the future.All the onfield stuff it's all Moses he won't learn jackshit off Luai.Moses is the key to Volkmans onfield progression.
You reckon he'd make reserve grade ? Maybe off the bench.
We may even need a Ron Massey cup site for the failed pawn shop owner lol
Sydney Sheild maybe . He could run the line.
boyd just extended for around a million per year
@CHIEFY Mclovin, Chiefy the only thing Poppa preached was when was the last time Chiefy was right, I never supported the 500 per season, just quoted the idiot journalist......matter of fact my words were maybe a 3 or 4 in it, but not a 2. To this minute you don't know the answer......nobody does on this site or the media.
As for being in Reserve Grade, I will comment whereever I am picked, Chiefy for a guy that is now picking sides and hates the R&R Group. I assume you must be the Chairman as well!........I think maybe you go back to your therapist and explain why you feel like a turkey all the time.
