Reed Mahoney Re-Signs

Parramatta Eels hooker Reed Mahoney has extended his contract with the Club for two years until the end of the 2022 season.

Mark O’Neill, Parramatta Eels Club General Manager of Football said, “Reed is an obvious talent on the field, but equally what he does off the field is of great significance to the culture we are instilling at the Eels. We look forward to his continued development as we strive for further success.”

Parramatta Eels Head Coach Brad Arthur said, “I’m really pleased Reed will remain with our squad. His game has continued to develop and he’s a great person to have around the Club”.

Reed joined the Club in 2017 where he played 28 games in the Eels Under 20s team and subsequently won the Steve Ella NYC player of the year at the annual Ken Thornett Medal Awards ceremony.

In 2018 Reed made his NRL debut for Parramatta in Round 14 and was named in the State of Origin Queensland Under 20 squad. He earned his first representative jersey last year when he was named on the bench for the Australia PM XIII side and the hooker for the U23 Junior Australian side.

"Looks like the JA mistake all over again. You don't develop your game sitting on the bench for first grade if you are a half or a fullback with very limited experience to begin with."

"Conditions make this game more even than we think. Control the ball; decent tackle efficiency and get to the kick and be patient. That's the key. The Fins have a balanced halves pairing too. Don't underestimate them. We should win by less than 8"

Well done to all involved.

Reed is an extremely important signature as was the signatures of Nrown, Drown, RCG, Paulo, Matto, Gutho, Moses and Sivo.

Keep this nucleus and we can be a force for another 5 years...

I must say I have been a naysayer about Reed,

"his to small and can't defend"

"They're score to many tries in him"

And I've been waiting for him to prove me right, but he simply hasn't.

So now I love the bloke, tremendous talent and as BA said, he is still developing, so Im stoked about this signing.

Well done Parra
