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.
