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!!

Thanks for posting the higlights reel.
Think I'll call him 'Ben'.
Has some real toe and can find the line. Seems like an upgrade on our depth players, hopefully a late bloomer
I expect more upside talent to be scouted and recruited over the coming years. Ben Rodgers was an absolute handbrake on this club in that area. His departure might be the best thing that happened here over the last 2 years.
SP, i said for a while at Rogers was a big issue. Even when MON and Sarantinos copped it, fairly so, i kept saying Rogers deserves blame too. Now we are seeing possibly the start of the post Rogers era looking better already.
100% he didn't cop as much flack as MON but him going is fantastic news. Can't believe he held his position so long.
Parra love a Fijian winger. If history has anything to say about it he may end up a household name.
If they think this Fijian is something they need to get up to Fiji itself athletically there's a lot more up there just waiting to be plucked.
Interesting signing.
Will be good to have an outside back with speed to burn.
Seems like he has a good strike rate, 34 tries out of 42 games in he's career. Will be cup winger, possibly playing first grade if he's killing it in cup!!
