Clint Gutherson, the talented fullback for the Manly Sea Eagles, has made a surprise move to the Parramatta Eels for the upcoming NRL season. The move was announced on Wednesday, with Gutherson signing a three-year contract with the Eels.
Gutherson has been a standout player for the Sea Eagles since he debuted in 2016. He has been a consistent performer in the NRL, playing in all but one of Manly’s matches in the past three seasons. He has also been a regular in the NSW State of Origin side, having played in all three matches of the 2019 series.
The move to the Eels comes as a surprise to many, as Gutherson had been linked with a move to the Sydney Roosters. However, it appears that Parramatta were able to offer Gutherson a better deal, which he accepted.
Gutherson will be a welcome addition to the Eels’ squad, as they look to build on their impressive 2019 season. He will join a talented backline that includes Blake Ferguson, Michael Jennings and Maika Sivo. Gutherson’s experience and leadership will be invaluable for the Eels, and he will no doubt be looking to help them go one better than their 2019 semi-final finish.
The move is sure to be a popular one with Eels fans, who will be delighted to have such a talented player join their team. Gutherson’s signing is also a sign of intent from the club, who are looking to build on their impressive 2019 season and challenge for the NRL title in 2020.
Clint Gutherson’s surprise move to the Parramatta Eels is sure to be an exciting one for both the player and the club. With Gutherson joining an already talented backline, the Eels will be hoping that he can help them go one better than their 2019 semi-final finish and challenge for the NRL title in 2020.
