The Parramatta Eels are excited to announce that Brendan Hands has extended his contract with the club until the end of the 2026 season.
Parramatta Eels General Manager of Football Mark O’Neill said Brendan has become a key figure in the squad.
“Brendan played in nearly 20 NRL matches last season and was one of our top performers. He is a running threat out of dummy half and offers versatility as he can play multiple positions, said O’Neill.
“Brendan is the ultimate professional; he always puts the club first and is an important part of our squad moving forward.”
In addition, winger Sean Russell has extended his contract until the end of the 2026 season.
Russell has come through the Parramatta Eels Pathways system, making his NRL debut for the Club in 2021. He made his representative debut this year in the Australian Prime Minister’s XIII team.
“Sean Russell’s extension is special to us, as he is a product of our Elite pathways system, and therefore our members and fans have great interest in his journey, said O’Neill.
“Sean has worked incredibly hard on his game which reflected in his performances throughout the season. As a result, it was a well-deserved honour being selected in the Prime Minister’s XIII. Sean is a wonderful team man with his best football ahead of him and we’re proud to have him continue to represent the Club,” added O’Neill.
