Mitchell Moses, the Parramatta Eels’ star halfback, has officially agreed to transition into a new role with the club, signing a deal to become an assistant coach. This announcement comes after weeks of speculation about Moses’ future in the NRL. Known for his exceptional on-field vision, leadership, and ability to control the game, Moses’ new role marks the beginning of a significant chapter in his rugby league journey.
The 30-year-old has been a cornerstone of the Eels’ lineup since joining the club in 2017. Over the years, he has been instrumental in leading Parramatta to success, including several finals campaigns. Moses’ ability to read the game and steer his team to victory has made him one of the most respected playmakers in the league.

His insights and experience will be invaluable in shaping the future of this club.”
For Moses, the decision wasn’t an easy one. “I’ve loved every moment of playing for the Eels, and it’s bittersweet to step away from playing,” he said. “But I’m excited about this next chapter. Coaching is something I’ve always been passionate about, and I’m grateful to the club for giving me this opportunity to stay involved in the game I love.”
The deal signifies the Eels’ commitment to nurturing talent both on and off the field. With Moses as part of the coaching team, Parramatta is well-positioned to build on its recent successes and continue competing at the highest level. Fans and players alike are eager to see how Moses will contribute to the team in his new role, ensuring the Eels remain a force in the NRL for years to come.
