🏆 Zac Lomax Wins 2025 Provan-Summons Medal: The People’s Champion of Parramatta 💛💙
In a season defined by heart, courage, and electric performances, Zac Lomax of the Parramatta Eels has been crowned the 2025 Provan-Summons Medal winner, one of the most prestigious honours in rugby league. The award, voted on by fans, celebrates not just a player’s on-field excellence but the spirit, sportsmanship, and connection they bring to the game. For Lomax, it’s a moment that captures his incredible journey from a talented prospect to a true fan favourite and community icon.
The Provan-Summons Medal, often referred to as “the people’s medal,” stands apart from all other rugby league awards. It’s about more than stats, trophies, or highlights—it’s about heart. And in 2025, no player embodied that more than Zac Lomax. Week after week, he delivered performances filled with flair, commitment, and emotion. Whether it was his clutch goal-kicking under pressure, his dazzling footwork down the right edge, or his passionate celebrations that sent CommBank Stadium roaring, Lomax played the game the way fans love to see it—fearless, proud, and full of energy.
This year, Lomax’s leadership both on and off the field has been nothing short of inspirational. When he joined Parramatta, many wondered how he’d adapt to the blue and gold jersey after years with St. George Illawarra. But Lomax didn’t just fit in—he elevated the club’s culture. His combination of skill and selflessness made him a central figure in the Eels’ resurgence. Under coach Jason Ryles, Lomax thrived in a system built on unity and accountability, becoming the emotional heartbeat of the team.
Off the field, his connection to fans has been just as impactful. Lomax is known for staying long after full-time, signing autographs, taking photos, and sharing words of encouragement with young fans. He’s been heavily involved in community programs around Parramatta, supporting local schools, junior rugby league clinics, and mental health awareness campaigns. That humility and accessibility have earned him admiration far beyond the Eels’ faithful.
When the medal was announced, Lomax was visibly emotional. “This means everything,” he said, holding back tears. “To be recognised by the fans—the people who live and breathe this game every week—is something I’ll never forget. Parramatta has welcomed me like family, and I play for them every time I put on this jersey.”
His words struck a chord across the NRL community. From teammates to rivals, tributes poured in for Lomax’s well-deserved honour. Eels captain Mitchell Moses called him “the ultimate competitor and teammate,” while fans online flooded social media with messages of pride and celebration.
For Parramatta, this award represents more than individual recognition—it’s a symbol of the club’s renewed spirit and belief. And for Zac Lomax, it’s the crowning moment of a season that proved he’s not just one of the game’s best talents, but also one of its most genuine ambassadors.
🏅 Zac Lomax – 2025 Provan-Summons Medalist.
A champion on the field. A role model off it. A true Eel in every sense. 💙💛
