Parramatta Eels CEO Jim Sarantinos has reaffirmed the club’s commitment to retaining key players amid ongoing contract discussions involving star halfback Mitchell Moses and five-eighth Dylan Brown.
Moses, who has been with the Eels since 2017, recently signed a contract extension keeping him at the club until the end of 2026, with player options for 2027 and 2028. The club is reportedly working with Moses to remove these clauses, aiming to secure his long-term future and potentially have him conclude his career at Parramatta. citeturn0search2
Brown, on the other hand, has a contract extending through 2025, with options that could see him remain with the Eels until 2031. Despite recent reports of his agent exploring opportunities with rival clubs, new captain Mitchell Moses has expressed his desire for Brown to stay, emphasizing their strong on-field partnership. Moses urged the club to provide Brown with the necessary time to make his decision, stating, “I hope he stays, I love him to death.” citeturn0search4
Sarantinos emphasized the importance of maintaining a strong core group of players to ensure the club’s future success. He highlighted the recent long-term signings of co-captains Junior Paulo and Clint Gutherson, as well as forwards Ryan Matterson and Shaun Lane, as evidence of the club’s strategy to build a competitive and cohesive team. citeturn0search3
