Parramatta Eels are excited to announce the signing of premiership-winning forward Spencer Leniu on a four-year contract commencing in the 2027 NRL season.
One of the game's most dynamic and impactful middle forwards, Leniu brings an outstanding experience to the Blue and Gold, including four NRL premierships, State of Origin honours for New South Wales, and international representative experience with Samoa.
At just 26 years of age, Leniu has already established himself as one of the competition's premier enforcers, renowned for his explosive carries, physical presence and ability to change the momentum of a match.
Parramatta Eels General Manager of Football Mark O'Neill said securing a player of Leniu's calibre was a major boost for the Club's future.
"We're thrilled to have Spencer join the Parramatta Eels and become part of what we're building at this Club. He's one of the elite middle forwards in the game and has consistently performed on the biggest stages throughout his career.
“We're excited to welcome Spencer and his family into the Eels community. We know he'll make a tremendous contribution both on and off the field, and we can't wait to see him in Blue and Gold,” said O’Neill.
Leniu will join the Eels squad for pre-season training later this year.

Ezra Mam (well that ain't happening now) and Corey Horsborough. Get Gutho back for one last hurrah
DCE has moved to England so Moses might move up a spot 🤭
Oh we're including Moses in this, I was talking about Luai and Leniu
Surprised he signed but this is a huge positive and his signing especially given his experience and now just winning another premiership with the Roosters may attract other players
We need a left centre/strike centre next week can rule out Bradman hes going to resign with the knights
Yeah Barry Toohey saying so and he is a good source. If Herbie goes to Easts, which is more likely going to happen, Bostock could be out too.
Yep Kelly, Fox, Simmo are good wingers, espicially while Sorovi & Bloomfield develop. Both 19 in 2027 so should hopefully be NRL ready by 2028/29.
Centre Seuseu is only 17 next year and he is the only junior centre I rate. Maybe Liam Martin could play centre and he is 18 next year.
You have to hope you get lucky with junior talent in the outside backs otherwise you end up paying overs unfortunately we have not had a good outside back in years come through the systems.
Maybe the best centre is playing 2nd row in juniors has happened before
Christopher Petrus anybody?
