Parramatta Eels Complete Contract Deal for Dream Player
In a significant move that has sent ripples through the NRL, the Parramatta Eels have secured the signing of dynamic winger Josh Addo-Carr for the 2025 season. The two-year agreement, which includes an option for a third season, is set to bolster the Eels’ backline with one of the game’s most electrifying talents.
A Strategic Acquisition
Addo-Carr’s arrival at Parramatta is a strategic acquisition by new head coach Jason Ryles, who previously worked with the speedster at the Melbourne Storm. Known for his blistering pace and try-scoring prowess, Addo-Carr brings a wealth of experience, including multiple NRL premierships and representative honors. His ability to break open games and provide attacking flair is expected to complement the Eels’ evolving game plan.
Filling the Void Left by Dylan Brown
Addo-Carr’s signing comes at a time when the Eels are navigating the impending departure of star five-eighth Dylan Brown. Brown has agreed to a record-breaking 10-year, $13 million deal with the Newcastle Knights, set to commence in 2026 . While Brown remains committed to the Eels for the 2025 season, his exit has prompted the club to bolster its roster with high-caliber players like Addo-Carr.
Strengthening the Squad
In addition to Addo-Carr, the Eels have made several key signings to strengthen their squad for the upcoming season. Notably, veteran utility Dylan Walker has joined the club for the remainder of 2025 and the 2026 season . Walker brings versatility and experience, capable of playing multiple positions across the backline and forward pack.
Furthermore, the club has secured the services of young talents such as Isaiah Iongi, a promising 21-year-old center, and Jack Williams, a robust forward with a strong defensive game. These additions are expected to provide depth and competition for spots in the starting lineup.
Looking Ahead
With these strategic signings, the Parramatta Eels are positioning themselves for a competitive 2025 season. The combination of experienced campaigners like Addo-Carr and Walker, alongside emerging talents, aims to create a balanced and dynamic squad. As the season progresses, all eyes will be on how these new acquisitions integrate into the team and contribute to the Eels’ pursuit of NRL success.
