Parramatta Eels re-sign Kenny Edwards

The Parramatta Eels are today pleased to announce the re-signing of back rower Kenny Edwards for a further three seasons until the end of 2019.

Edwards debuted for the Eels in 2013 and has played over 40 games in the top grade for the Blue and Gold.

“After returning from an ACL injury, Kenny has been one of our most consistent performers in 2016 and I am pleased he has committed to the club for the long term,” Head Coach Brad Arthur said.

“It’s a great outcome that more and more of our players are committing long term to the Club and I am sure our supporters will see the benefits of this in 2017 and beyond."
