In an update on the future of one of their key players, the Parramatta Eels have decided to hold on to star fullback Clint Gutherson until the end of his current contract, with talks of a contract extension on the horizon.
The news comes amidst swirling rumors of Gutherson potentially moving on from the Eels.
With the recent dismissal of coach Brad Arthur and the team's disappointing performance this season, speculation was rife about Gutherson's future at the club.
Since their grand final appearance in 2022, the Eels have struggled to find success and are currently facing the possibility of finishing at the bottom of the ladder.
The upcoming appointment of Jason Ryles as head coach has sparked talks of a major overhaul at the club, with several players set to depart.
Alongside this, young talents like Matt Arthur, Ethan Sanders, and Blaize Talagi are also on their way out.
Despite the uncertainties surrounding the team, the Eels are determined to keep Gutherson in their ranks as they look towards a fresh start under new leadership.
As they gear up for a potential contract extension, the club remains focused on building a competitive squad for the seasons ahead.
