Jarome Luai to Join Parramatta Eels in 2027

The Parramatta Eels are delighted to announce that four-time NRL premiership-winning half Jarome Luai will join the Club for the 2027 NRL season.

One of the game's most accomplished playmakers, Luai brings a wealth of experience and leadership to the Eels after establishing himself as one of the competition's premier halves.

Luai has enjoyed success at the highest level throughout his career and has also represented New South Wales in State of Origin, and Samoa on the international stage. His competitive nature, football intelligence and ability to perform under pressure make him a significant addition to Parramatta's roster next year.

Parramatta Eels General Manager of Football Mark O'Neill said Luai's arrival would provide an enormous boost to the Club both on and off the field.

“Jarome is one of the most experienced and successful players of his generation, and we're thrilled to welcome him to the Parramatta Eels next year,” O'Neill said.

“His record speaks for itself. Winning four premierships requires an exceptional level of commitment, consistency and professionalism, and those are qualities Jarome will bring to our football program every day.

“Beyond what he offers on the field, we believe Jarome will have a tremendous impact on our younger players coming through the system. His experience in high-performance environments and his professional approach to preparation and training will help mentor and develop the next generation of Eels,” added O’Neill.

The Parramatta Eels look forward to welcoming Jarome and his family in 2027.
