The Parramatta Eels are pleased to announce that rising talent Teancum Brown has been upgraded to a development contract for the 2026 season, and an NRL contract extension for the 2027 and 2028 seasons.
Brown joined the Eels in 2024 in the Club’s Jersey Flegg squad and has since demonstrated steady improvement, and a commitment to developing his all-round game.
General Manager of Football Mark O’Neill praised Brown’s recent form and commitment to improvement.
“Teancum thoroughly deserves this opportunity. He has worked incredibly hard during the pre-season which impressed his teammates and coaches.” O’Neill said. “Teancum has a good engine for a big man, loves to compete and he displayed a level of confidence in the trial matches which he can take into the season ahead."
The development contract in 2026 will allow Brown to continue training full-time within the NRL system, gaining valuable experience alongside the Club’s senior squad. His upgraded deal through 2028 reflects the Eels’ long-term belief in his potential and the role he can play at NRL level in the coming seasons.

Khafusi he should never have been let go as with Utokimanu who ba chose to sign Alvaro rather than give Utokimanu a go
BA did well for the club and reached his peak IMO; we then paid too much $$ for certain players including forwards and hence lost too many younger players. Hindsight says we need to continually bring on some kids while allowing others to leave. Hence, RCG / Gutho / Lane / Brown and Co cost a heap on the cap and look what has been done in 12 months.
There has been back and forth about who signed off on all the contracts and no doubt BA and MON were both in agreement.
It would be interesting to see from the 17 who played the GF in 22, where are they all now and how are they doing?? I daresay a few have fallen from grace.
Paulo Matterson RCG Moses Nathan Browns careers were all influx before they arrived here nek minute there playing for NSW and there careers took off and went to other levels.
Nuikore Brown Papalli Lane represented there countries and won Daly Ms under the mentioned.As many of these supposed misses there were as many if not more successes there has to be if you were to play finals footy over the period.
