Moses an Eel until 2029, and for once there is no catch

Parramatta have ensured Mitch Moses will finish his career at the Eels, extending the halfback’s stay until 2029 in a deal that contains no options for an early exit.

With the future of five-eighth Dylan Brown clouded, Parramatta had faced the prospect of contract talks around Moses this season.

Already signed until the end of next year, Moses would have become a free agent on November 1 if he was not already extended by the Eels at that point.

But there is now no chance of that becoming an issue, with the No.7 inking an extension that will see him through to his 35th birthday.

Crucially, AAP has been told there are also no options in either party’s favour for the deal to end early, after Parramatta had been plagued by such contracts recently.

“Mitch has been in consistently good form for many years now but none better than 2024,” Eels football Mark O’Neill said.

“The way he performed in Origin last year was outstanding and proved that he belongs in that arena.

“Being recently appointed captain continues the evolution of his development and is a very proud moment for him, his family and our club.

“Having a player of Mitch’s calibre commit the rest of his career to the Eels is fantastic news for his teammates, our partners, members and the entire Eels community.”

Moses is expected to line up for Parramatta in round one against Melbourne next Sunday, despite still battling foot pain from an injury suffered last March.

The drama-free nature of the Eels’ captain’s extension will also come as a relief to new coach Jason Ryles.

When Moses re-signed in 2023, a circus surrounded his future and whether he could potentially return to Wests Tigers.

A similar situation surrounded former captain Clint Gutherson’s future with the club in 2021, before he too eventually re-signed.

Brown’s contract is now also a point of contention, despite having a deal with Parramatta that runs until 2031.

Under the terms of that contract, Brown has multiple options in his favour where he can either stay with the club or opt to walk at the end of a season.

The five-eighth has until round 10 of this year to determine whether he will take up the option to stay for 2026, or accept a big-money offers on the table from the likes of Newcastle.

The nature of the Moses deal means that won’t be a problem for Parramatta to contend with when it comes to their club captain, allowing him to be a fixture of their squad for the next five years.
