"Easy decision": Eels speedster makes call on long-term future
In a move that has thrilled fans and left the opposition shaking in their boots, Parramatta Eels outside back Bailey Simonsson has committed his future to the blue and gold until at least 2027 in a statement that has reverberated through the Rugby League world.
Originally set to hit the open market at the end of this season, the former Canberra Raider has proved his worth as a vital component in the Eels' game plan, despite battling injuries and only making ten appearances this year.
Since making the switch from the Raiders in 2022, Simonsson has notched up an impressive 50 games for the club, showcasing his speed and agility with 16 tries to his name and making his mark on both attack and defense.
