Parramatta Eels’ Roster Revamp: Full List of Departures and New Signings for 2025

The Parramatta Eels are preparing for a new era under head coach Jason Ryles as he takes charge for the 2025 season. Following a disappointing 2024 campaign that almost ended with the wooden spoon, the club has made significant roster changes to strengthen the team. Long-time head coach Brad Arthur parted ways with the Eels mid-season, and now Ryles is leading one of the club’s most extensive roster overhauls in recent memory.

As Ryles gears up for his first season with the Eels, the blend of fresh signings and development of young players indicates a clear shift in strategy. This extensive roster transformation aims to bring a renewed competitive edge to Parramatta, setting the foundation for what the club hopes will be a successful 2025 season and beyond.
