In a stunning midweek development, the Parramatta Eels have officially announced the signing of a replacement for Ryan Matterson, just days after his shock release from the club.
The Eels’ head coach made the announcement earlier today, confirming that the club has secured a new addition to their forward pack in a swift move to bolster their roster ahead of the final stretch of the NRL season.
Matterson, a key figure in the Eels’ back row since joining the club in 2020, was released under mutual agreement earlier this week, sending shockwaves through the league and leaving a significant void in the team’s structure.
While the identity of the new signing has not yet been publicly disclosed, sources close to the club suggest it is a high-profile forward with representative experience, signaling the Eels’ intent to remain competitive despite recent turbulence.
More details, including contract terms and the player’s debut timeline, are expected to be revealed in a press conference later this afternoon.
Stay tuned as this story develops.
