A key player in the forward stocks for the Parramatta Eels, the club has retained Sam Tuivaiti on a new long-term deal.
Tuivaiti’s new deal runs for three years from the 2028 season until the end of 2030.
A product of the Eels academy system, Tuivaiti has gone from strength to strength coming through the ranks at the club.
The Eels are pleased to retain Tuivaiti and know the importance of retaining your top local juniors.
“It’s always incredibly rewarding when a player who has come through our Junior League and Academy commits their future to the Eels,” O’Neill said.
“Sam and his family have proudly been part of our community for years and he has thoroughly deserved every opportunity he has received.
“He’s a big, powerful prop who brings plenty of energy and aggression to his football, and we believe he has a very bright future ahead of him.”
Tuivaiti made his NRL debut in 2025 and was a part of the Eels premiership winning SG Ball squad in 2023.
