Parramatta Eels forward Bryce Cartwright will depart the club effective immediately to pursue new opportunities, marking a return to where his rugby league journey began.
Cartwright commenced his career with the St Mary’s Saints before progressing through the Penrith Panthers system. After stints with the Gold Coast Titans and a transformative period at Parramatta, he now returns to St Mary’s to conclude his professional playing career.
“I’m really thankful to the Eels for the opportunity to be part of this club, it always felt like a home away from home. I’m leaving with positive memories, lifelong mates and gratitude for everyone’s support, especially the passionate fans who have always shown me love.
“While I’ve loved my time at Parramatta, this decision is about making the best choice for my family and our future,” added Cartwright.
Parramatta Eels GM of Football Mark O’Neill expressed the club’s gratitude.

Cartwright played his junior football for St Mary's Saints before being signed by the Panthers and earned a reputation as one of the most naturally talented players in the league. He made seven NRL Finals appearances throughout his career, and played for the NRL All Stars in 2017, and NSW City 2016-17.

Making way for Lee Mossop
Carty was a great player 2023. He became something else as a defensive player that year . But the wheels fell off and watching him run around nsw cup is sad. This guy had the world at his feet skill wise and just didn't quite nail it.
Champion bloke , great teammate and a good nrl footballer . Thanks carty.
Well put PT.
With all these players leaving and cap space opening up, I hope we can sign some quality players whilst promoting a good blend of youth in!
Gee we going to buy up big Lane Cartwright Brown Matterson i think be gone i think Grieg be gone i have a feeling Paulo be gone Lussick gone who else i dont know

Good luck. He was taking space from the youngsters.
I liked Carty.
Good soldier, went through the highs and lows of the game.
He would be the first to say he had frustrating times.
I wish him well in his retirement and I hope he does well in his future endeavours.
