Heartfelt News: Parramatta Eels to Sign Two Players From Newcastle After Announcing the Departure of Liam Farrell and Reagan Campbell-Gillard

In a major shakeup for the Parramatta Eels, the club has announced the departure of two senior players—Liam Farrell and Reagan Campbell-Gillard—while simultaneously revealing the upcoming signing of two talented players from the Newcastle Knights. The news marks a significant turning point in the club’s recruitment strategy and signals a fresh chapter for the team as it looks to rebuild and return to finals contention.

The departure of Campbell-Gillard, one of the Eels’ most experienced and formidable forwards, comes as a bittersweet moment for fans. Having played a key role in the Eels’ pack for several seasons, Campbell-Gillard brought power, aggression, and leadership to the front row. His ability to bend defensive lines and inspire younger players made him a core figure in Parramatta’s engine room. His exit is not just a loss of talent, but a loss of spirit for the squad.

Joining him in departure is veteran second-rower Liam Farrell, who, while having only recently joined from the Super League, quickly won over Eels supporters with his professionalism, work ethic, and grit. Though his time at the club was brief, Farrell made a meaningful impression and leaves with the respect of fans and teammates alike.

“We want to thank both Reagan and Liam for their service,” said Eels head coach Brad Arthur. “They’ve given everything to the jersey, and while it’s always tough to say goodbye, we respect their decisions and wish them the very best in their next chapters.”

But while farewells can be tough, the mood around the club quickly turned to optimism as Parramatta confirmed it would be welcoming two standout players from the Newcastle Knights: Bradman Best and Phoenix Crossland. The double signing is expected to inject energy, youth, and versatility into the Eels lineup ahead of the 2026 season.

Bradman Best, a powerful and athletic centre, has long been regarded as one of the rising stars of the NRL. Known for his explosive speed, strong carries, and defensive tenacity, Best offers the Eels a dynamic edge presence that they’ve sorely missed in recent seasons. Still only 23, he already has representative experience with New South Wales and is seen as a player entering the prime of his career.

“I’m excited to take the next step in my journey with the Eels,” Best said in a club statement. “It’s a proud club with a passionate fan base, and I’m ready to give my all for the blue and gold.”

Joining Best is Phoenix Crossland, a talented half/hooker hybrid who adds depth, flexibility, and creativity to the Eels’ spine. Crossland’s football IQ, kicking game, and willingness to compete have made him a fan favorite in Newcastle, and his move to Parramatta is seen as an opportunity for him to play a more consistent role at the top level.

“I’ve loved my time with the Knights, but I’m looking forward to a new challenge,” said Crossland. “Parramatta’s building something special, and I want to be part of that future.”

While the departures of Campbell-Gillard and Farrell mark the end of an important era, the arrivals of Best and Crossland offer hope for what’s ahead. The club’s recruitment strategy appears focused on building a younger, faster, and more dynamic team — one capable of matching the speed and intensity of today’s NRL contenders.

As fans come to terms with the emotional farewell of two beloved figures, there is an undercurrent of excitement about what’s to come. The Eels are not just making changes — they’re making a statement: the rebuild is on, and they’re ready to chase glory once more.
