The Dyldam Parramatta Eels have today announced the signing of Josh Hoffman on a three-year deal.
Hoffman joins the Eels after stints at the Brisbane Broncos and most recently the Gold Coast Titans. He has played 158 NRL games and achieved representative honours in 2012 and 2013 with New Zealand.
Head Coach Brad Arthur said that the signing of Josh Hoffman would bring skill and versatility to the Eels backline from 2017.
“Josh brings tremendous NRL experience and can play anywhere from 1 to 6 which ensures our squad will have strong competition across multiple positions,” Arthur said.
“He has been a strong and consistent performer for the Titans over the past couple of years and he will provide a strong contribution to the club from 2017 and beyond."
Hoffman joins Nathan Brown, George Jennings and Siosaia Vave as new signings for the Eels in 2017.
This announcement also follows the re-signings of Corey Norman, Danny Wicks, Kenny Edwards, Isaac De Gois, Brad Takairangi and Manu Ma'u.

At the right price this is another good signing. He covers many positions should injury, suspension or SOO strike.
V good player. Will add depth, strong defence and good speed to the backs; and is a definite upgrade on what we had.
that's good more good signing keep us up to date please my zero tackle not working
Didn't see this coming....he'll be a solid first grader..
We're building nicely. He's a really solid First Grader. better than solid actually. he's very good and will be a a great boost to our back-line. When Manu-Mau is the 3rd best centre at the club you know you may need to buy some more outside backs.
its pretty obvious that the number 9 will be covered by hoffman.
That is an awesome backline
