Mitch Moses will replace Clint Gutherson as captain of the Parramatta Eels

The Parramatta Eels are officially Mitchell Moses’ team after the star halfback was unveiled as their new skipper at an internal event in front of players, coaches and club legends.

Moses said it was a “privilege” to lead the club, with the representative playmaker named as Clint Gutherson’s replacement after the long-term skipper was released to join the Dragons where he has since been named one of their co-captains.

It’s a new era at the Eels with rookie coach Jason Ryles cleaning house and hoping to turn things around after their horror 2024 campaign, with Moses to lead the charge after a rollercoaster season where he battled injuries but still led the Blues to Origin victory before he made his Kangaroos debut.

“I am incredibly proud and honoured to be named captain,” Moses said.

“This club means so much to me, and it’s a privilege to lead this group of players. I have great support around me from the leadership group and coaching staff, and I can’t wait to start the season with them in a few weeks.”

Moses joined the Eels midway through the 2017 season and has emerged as one of the most important attacking pieces at the club, with the playmaker never afraid to call out his teammates if he isn’t happy with something on the field.

He has been a leading voice in the sheds and on the field for a number of years now, with Ryles impressed with his leadership and willingness to drive his teammates.

“Mitch has shown strong leadership qualities both on and off the field, and I believe he is ready to lead our club into the future. With the support of our leadership group, I’m confident he will continue to grow as a leader,” he said.

Junior Paulo, J’maine Hopgood and new recruit Jack Williams will form the rest of the leadership group, with the club hoping to keep five-eighth Dylan Brown who has a clause to leave at the end of the year.

“Mitch has been an outstanding player for our club, and we are thrilled to see him step into the role of captain,” Eels chief executive Jim Sarantinos said.

“Mitch’s appointment is an important moment for the club as we move into an exciting new era for our football program.”M

Moses also captained Lebanon in their 2017 Rugby League World Cup campaign.
