Typically, players transitioning from the NRL to the Super League tend to remain there, but this won't be the case for Ryan Matterson.
After an unsuccessful tenure with the Warrington Wolves, Matterson is set to return to the NRL in 2026, likely rejoining the Parramatta Eels.
He is under contract with the Eels for 2026, although he has fallen out of favor with new head coach Jason Ryles this year.
His lackluster performance led to a demotion to the NSW Cup, ultimately resulting in a loan to the Super League.
Expected to thrive under Wolves coach Sam Burgess, the 30-year-old struggled, with the team achieving only one win in eight matches.
Now, Matterson is headed back to the NRL, and while he remains contracted with the Eels, his management is currently looking into other options in Australia.
