Mark O’Neill, Parramatta Eels General Manager of Football said, “Kennedy brings incredible energy to our team, she has a strong, positive attitude and we’re really happy she’s staying with the Eels for another season.

Her sister Rueben will further strengthen our squad and I’m sure they’ll enjoy playing together.”
