Veteran centre Jennings extends Eels stay

In some of his best form in recent years, Michael Jennings will re-sign with the Parramatta Eels for two more seasons.

2021, a player option in Michael’s favour and 2022 an additional season.

Since making his debut in 2007, Jennings has achieved all there is to in the game and represented state and country.

The now veteran centre wants to stick around to help nurture and develop the next crop of kids at the Eels.

The Eels are pleased to see Jennings remain as a focal point of their side moving forward.

“I am very pleased to see Michael remain at the Eels,” said Eels General Manager of Football, Mark O’Neill.

“He is a very popular member of our squad and is currently playing some the best football of his career.

Similarly, in an off-field capacity Michael appears to be thriving with a great life balance and strong family support network.

I have no doubt that this news will be as warmly welcomed by our members and fans as it was by our players and staff.”
