Parramatta have confirmed the signing of North Queensland discard Manase Manuokafoa until the end of the 2011 NRL season.

Manuokafoa has linked immediately with the Eels after he was released by the Cowboys last week.

The 25-year-old former South Sydney forward trained with his new club on Monday and Parramatta CEO Paul Osborne said he would bolster the side's depth.

"We're pleased Manase has decided to join the Eels. He'll give us another option in the forwards," Osborne said.

"He's a Tongan international and is already an experienced first-grader so he will be a welcome addition as we start the run home to the finals."

Manuokafoa joined former Test prop Antonio Kaufusi in being cut loose by the struggling Cowboys.

Kaufusi has joined Newcastle until the end of 2012.

    Great another polynesian player for Anderson to use and then abuse.

      I hope your just having a bit of a dry humoured crack there Micheal.

      You seem like an intelligent bloke, but you also make some quite absurd statements.

    I hope that Manase can find something extra at the Eels, because he really struggled to find his feet at the Cowboys
    I hope someone like Fui can inspire him, as he has plenty of physical ability, but really lacks the mongrel to take advantage of it.
    I believe he came pretty cheap, so I hope the change of scenery pays off on the paddock!

    With Mannah out this week for Origin, I wonder if Anderson will bring Manuokafoa in off the bench, considering he is a specialist prop, unlike Brendan Oake who is probably the next best option?
