Brian Kelly Extends with Parramatta Eels Until End of 2028

The Parramatta Eels are pleased to announce Brian Kelly has extended his contract with the Club, keeping him in Blue and Gold until the end of 2028.

The 2026 season was another significant chapter in Kelly's career, with the talented outside back celebrating his 200-game NRL milestone and earning recognition for his performance as the dual recipient of the Ken Thornett Medal, awarded to the Club's Best and Fairest players.

Parramatta Eels General Manager of Football Mark O'Neill said Kelly's extension was a testament to the value he brings to the team.

"Brian has been a wonderful addition to our team since arriving at the Club. He's an experienced outside back who consistently delivers for us and is one of our strongest contributors in yardage gained each week.

"His hard work and competitiveness set a great example for our younger players, and being recognised as a dual Ken Thornett Medalist this year reflects the respect he has earned throughout the Club. We're delighted he'll continue his journey with the Eels," said O’Neill.

A proud Bundjalung man, Kelly's representative honours include selection for the Indigenous All Stars and Australian Prime Minister’s XIII.
