PARRAMATTA EELS SECURE KEY FORWARD: KELMA TUILAGI SIGNS TWO-YEAR DEAL THROUGH 2025
The Parramatta Eels have added strength, heart, and depth to their forward pack with the signing of Kelma Tuilagi on a two-year deal through the 2025 NRL season. The move marks another important step in the club’s ongoing mission to build a side defined by resilience, unity, and pride — both on and off the field.
Tuilagi, known across the league as a gentle giant with tremendous work ethic, brings a mix of power, humility, and determination that perfectly fits the Eels’ culture. Standing tall in the back row, he has built a reputation as a relentless competitor who plays with passion and purpose — the kind of player who inspires those around him through effort and attitude rather than words alone.
For Parramatta, the signing is about more than numbers or statistics. It’s about belief. The Eels see in Tuilagi a player who embodies the values the club is striving to uphold — commitment, teamwork, and a deep respect for the jersey.
“Kelma brings a physical presence and an incredible attitude,” said Eels coach Brad Arthur. “He’s the type of player who gives everything for his teammates, and that’s the standard we want at this club. We’re excited to see what he can do in blue and gold.”
For Tuilagi, the opportunity represents both a challenge and a homecoming of sorts — a chance to grow within a proud club and to contribute to something bigger than himself.
“I’m grateful for this opportunity,” Tuilagi said. “Parramatta is a special place, and I want to give my best for the fans, the team, and everyone who believes in me.”
With Tuilagi’s signing, the Eels continue to build a squad fueled by heart, passion, and pride — and in Western Sydney, that’s a formula for greatness.
