The Parramatta Eels have continued their raid of the Queensland Cup.
Sunshine Coast falcons winger Zion Johnson has signed a deal to join the Eels next year. Johnson managed 17 tries in 22 appearances for the Falcons who made it to the Grand Final.
Zion’s good form saw him be picked as part of the Fiji World Cup Squad.
Zion has signed a train and trial deal so will need to go out and prove himself. At 25 Zion has plenty of experience and clearly knows how to find the try line!!

Without a doubt this is a depth signing, with the club hoping the conveyor belt starts for the outside backs over the next couple of years. This is the right call.
Yeah, this if anything, strengthens NSW Cup. Even if he doesn't see FG in his time here, he can improve our backline in NSW Cup which helps the team and the players in that team. Instead of relying on Ron Massey Wingers, we have someone with some decent reserve grade experience and quality.
Should have been cherry picking guys from QLD cup years ago like others do lots of talent there waiting for a opportunity we need depth signings badly I like this from the club
Funnily enough his halfback at Sunshine Coast was Josh Lynn, the former Eels SG Ball player who moved on last year.
