Back-up Parramatta halfback Jake Arthur has been released to join the Manly Sea Eagles.
Arthur, who scored a Grand Final try last year, is struggling to lock down a permanent first grade spot at the Eels.
A local junior, Arthur progressed through the Eels pathways system from the U14s development team, Harold Matthews, and SG Ball teams through to the NRL squad in 2021.
He made his NRL debut in Round 10, 2021 against the Warriors.
“Jake is one of the most hard-working and resilient young men and we are very proud of what he has contributed to our Club,” said General Manager of Football Mark O’Neilll.
“He has an incredibly calm demeanor and talented football brain which I’m sure will help him succeed for many years to come in the NRL.
“We would like to thank Jake for his hard work and wish him the very best for his future.”
