The Parramatta Eels are pleased to announce three player signings and the retention of Will Smith for the 2021 NRL season.
Michael Oldfield has agreed to a one-year deal, bringing 100 games of experience in both the NRL and the English Super League.
He most recently played for the Canberra Raiders.
He has played for the Gold Coast Titans since 2017.
Pleasingly, Parramatta Eel Will Smith will also remain with the Club for a fifth season and has re-signed for the 2021 season.
Parramatta Eels General Manager of Football Mark O’Neill said, “We look forward to welcoming Michael and Keegan in the 2021 pre-season and having Will remain in the Blue and Gold.”
“We believe the combination of the new NRL rule changes, Eels coaching capability and our Club environment will bring the best out of these players.
“We are thankful of their decision to choose our club and are excited about working together upon their arrival,” O’Neill said.
Development List
Nathaniel Roache has been added to the Eels’ development squad.
Nathaniel has played 26 NRL games for the Warriors after making his debut in 2016.

Keegan Hipgrave is a great signing.
Yeah agreed really like the bloke
Fresh prince yay
fresh prince our best signing in years
Why oh why. Does reserve grade desperately need his blue eyes that bad Carlo.
Great? Lol that word gets thrown around too much.
Wow I didn't realise Hipgrave was available. He cuts opponents in half. Great signing.
Yeah, the Titans went hard to keep him. Very surprising
nice signings hipgrave will be great off the benxh
Keegan Hipgrave... get ready for more of the "we just played dumb" press conferences. Gotta disagree with people here saying he was a good signing. There was a game this season he had 2 hitups, 12 missed tackles and gave away 4 penalties.
Roache was decent at the start of his career but plagued by injuries. Def worth a development contract.
Oldfield. Meh.
Not exactly sure what we're doing here.
