Isaiah Iongi: Two Key Reasons Behind His New Parramatta Eels Contract
The Parramatta Eels are thrilled to confirm that promising young fullback Isaiah Iongi has committed his future to the club, signing a long-term contract extension that will keep him in Eels colours until the end of the 2030 NRL season.
Iongi’s decision to extend comes as a major boost to the Eels’ rebuild, with the dynamic 20-year-old already carving out a reputation as one of the game’s most exciting young stars. In announcing his new deal, Iongi revealed the two major reasons behind his decision to stay at Parramatta — loyalty to the club’s culture and belief in the team’s long-term success.
Firstly, Iongi spoke passionately about the strong culture and support network he has found at the Eels. “From day one, I felt at home here,” he said. “The coaches, my teammates and all of the staff have backed me every step of the way. I want to be part of something special, and that starts with the culture we have built here at Parramatta.”
For Iongi, that culture isn’t just about winning games — it’s about growth both on and off the field. He credited the club’s development programs and mentorship from senior leaders as major factors in his personal and professional progress.
The second driving factor behind his contract extension is his unwavering belief in the Eels’ vision for success. With a talented roster and a clear plan to challenge for premierships, Iongi is determined to be part of a team that competes at the highest level. “We have an exciting group here,” he added. “We’re building towards something big, and I want to be here to help deliver that for our fans.”
Parramatta fans will be delighted to see Iongi committed long-term, as the club continues its push toward sustained success in the NRL.
