In a dramatic turn of events, an NRL team has secured the services of a Parramatta Eels forward, immediately releasing him from his contract for the rest of the current season. The move follows the player’s exceptional performance in a thrilling victory over the Brisbane Broncos, a game that saw the forward deliver one of the most standout performances of the season.
Details surrounding the transfer reveal that the player, whose identity remains confidential at this stage, has been offered a lucrative $789,000 salary per season by his new club. The signing comes as a massive boost to the team, who are aiming for a finals push in the latter half of the season.
In a statement released by the Eels, the club confirmed that the forward’s release was a mutual decision, with both parties agreeing that it was in the best interest of the player’s career. While the terms of the contract remain undisclosed, sources close to the deal suggest the new team has secured a deal that will see the forward earn one of the highest salaries in the competition.
The Broncos match, which saw Parramatta secure a comprehensive win, may well have been the final nail in the coffin for the forward’s time at the Eels, with his outstanding individual performance drawing the attention of rival clubs.
