Moses signs mammoth five-year, $6.5m contract extension

Mitchell Moses has become the highest-paid player in the game after signing a five-year contract extension with Parramatta.

The new contract, which also upgrades his current deal, will result in Mitchell earning $1.3 million per season until the end of 2029. Having only just been handed the captaincy, the development is a huge boost for rookie coach Jason Ryles and is likely to increase the chances of halves partner Dylan Brown staying put.

“Mitch has been in consistently good form for many years now but none better than 2024,” said Eels general manager of football Mark O’Neill.

“The way he performed in Origin last year was outstanding and proved that he belongs in that arena.

“Being recently appointed captain continues the evolution of his development and is a very proud moment for him, his family and our club. Having a player of Mitch’s calibre commit the rest of his career to the Eels is fantastic news for his teammates, our partners, members and the entire Eels community.”

More to come.
