Mitchell Moses, the Parramatta Eels’ star halfback, has signed a four-year contract with the Newcastle Knights. In fact, recent developments suggest that Moses is likely to remain with the Eels for the foreseeable future.
In November 2024, reports indicated that the Parramatta Eels were working with Moses to remove contract clauses that would allow him to leave after the 2027 and 2028 seasons. Moses had previously signed an extension in May 2024, keeping him with the Eels until the end of 2026, with player options for 2027 and 2028. By eliminating these clauses, both parties aim to ensure that Moses concludes his career at Parramatta. (
Moses, 30, is in career-best form, and the Eels are eager for him to continue leading the team. Discussions to remove the get-out clauses have begun, and if successful, Moses would be committed to the Eels without the option to leave early. This move underscores the club’s confidence in Moses and his importance to their future success.
Additionally, Moses is a leading candidate for the Eels’ captaincy in 2025, following Clint Gutherson’s departure to St George Illawarra. New head coach Jason Ryles has yet to announce the new captain, but Moses is among the top contenders, highlighting his leadership role within the team.
Given these developments, it appears that Mitchell Moses is set to remain a key figure for the Parramatta Eels, and there is no current evidence to support claims of a move to the Newcastle Knights.
