Mitchell Moses is set to end months of speculation over his future and sign a new deal with Parramatta.
Moses is set to knock back a four-year, $5.2m offer from his old club the Wests Tigers to tie his future to the Eels on a long-term deal.

The halfback has been contemplating his future since he became a free agent on November 1, meeting with the Tigers and Bulldogs as he weighed up whether to remain at Parramatta.
Canterbury pulled out of the race a fortnight ago, leaving Parramatta in a battle with Moses’ old club for his services.
Moses, 28, has an option in his contract with Parramatta for 2024 that he has until April 1 to trigger. Instead, Moses will sign an upgrade and extension deal that will likely see him finish his career in the blue and gold.
Sources with knowledge of the negotiations speaking under the condition of anonymity due to the confidential nature of the deal told the Herald that Moses stands to earn around $1.25m a season over the course of the new contract.
The Tigers were willing to go in excess of $1.3m to bring Moses back to the club he debuted for but Moses has decided he has unfinished business at the Eels.
The halfback led Parramatta to its first grand final since 2009 last year, falling short in a one-sided affair against the Penrith Panthers at Accor Stadium.
