Club Statement: Leadership Update

The Parramatta Eels today confirm a change in the club’s football leadership structure, with Mark O’Neill departing his role as Head of Football, effective immediately.

We thank Mark for his service and commitment during his time at the club. His efforts have contributed to important developments both on and off the field, and we wish him all the best in his future endeavours.

The club is pleased to announce the appointment of Shane Richardson as Head of Football. Shane brings a wealth of experience across the NRL landscape, with a proven track record in driving high-performance programs, strong club culture, and sustained success.

This appointment reflects the club’s clear focus on accountability, high standards, and delivering consistent results for our members and fans. Shane will commence in the role immediately and will work closely with players, coaches, and staff to strengthen the football program and position the club for long-term success.

The Parramatta Eels remain committed to building a premiership-winning organisation and delivering performances our supporters can be proud of.

 

Further updates will be provided in due course.

  • GOTCHA!

  • Great apartment.  👍

    • This appointent is an upgrade. He is an accomplished football guy and knows his way around the nrl world. 

  • Damn it Chief, used up the April fools joke on this instead of Gareth Hock announcement.

    • LB i would love to know the amount of times you have mentioned Gareth Hock. That bloke lives rent free in your mind, me thinks. I'm assuming that one Eels management decision burnt you bad. 

      • Lol. What are you talking about blue eel. Hock is still stuck an Manchester airport and has is in constant contact with the club of his arrival 

        • Heard he was meant to play Gold Coast next week but his jail wont allow him day release.

        • haha. 

      • It is the joke that keeps going, some love it some hate it. I just love the joke itself that he is still actually coming.

        • haha, i think Ryan Matterson may live rent free in my mind.
