Sam T Signs

Parramatta Eels extend Sam Tuivaiti
The Parramatta Eels are pleased to announce that rising forward Sam Tuivaiti has extended his contract with the Club for a further three years, committing his future to the Blue and Gold until the end of the 2030 season.
A product of the Parramatta Eels Academy, Tuivaiti has progressed through the Club’s pathways system and established himself as one of the most promising young forwards in the game.

Parramatta Eels General Manager of Football Mark O’Neill said the extension reinforces the Club’s commitment to developing and retaining its best young talent.

“It’s always incredibly rewarding when a player who has come through our Junior League and Academy commits their future to the Eels,” O’Neill said.

“Sam and his family have proudly been part of our community for years and he has thoroughly deserved every opportunity he has received. He’s a big, powerful prop who brings plenty of energy and aggression to his football, and we believe he has a very bright future ahead of him.

“Just as importantly, Sam represents our Club values exceptionally well, and we’re excited to see his continued development over the coming years.”

Tuivaiti played a key role in the Eels’ 2023 SG Ball premiership winning team, eventually making his NRL debut in 2025. On the representative stage, he played for the Australian Schoolboys in 2022 and NSW U19s in 2023 and 2024.

"Yea not concerned if we lose him. Though still surprised he couldn't get game time in nsw cup last year. With TDS, Trey-Stewart and Bell at the club. His chance to be the 9 or 14 at the club long term was very low"
