Parramatta has solved its problem at dummy half by signing Joey Lussick for the remainder of the 2023 season, and for 2024 and 2025.
The hooker will return to the club after leaving at the end of 2021 to join St Helens in the English Super League.
General Manager of Football Mark O’Neill welcomed him back to the club.
“Joey will add quality and depth to our roster. He knows our systems and coaching style and will fit in right where he left off,” he said.
Lussick has played 120 games in the NRL and Super League and will join the Eels at training this week.
The signing follows news that veteran Josh Hodgson is set to retire after suffering a season-ending neck injury earlier this season.
