After months of negotiations, Michael Jennings has finally re-signed with Parramatta for another two seasons.

The 31-year-old looks set to end his NRL career at the Eels after inking a new deal that will keep him at the club until the end of 2021.

The Tongan international’s signing is another boost for Parramatta, who have added Reagan Campbell-Gillard and Ryan Matterson to their already impressive 2020 roster.

Parramatta were one of the big movers in 2019, finishing fifth in the regular season before bowing out in the semi-finals while thrashing Brisbane 58-0 along the way.

Eels football boss Mark O’Neill believed Parramatta were now in sight of 2020 premiership success after locking up Jennings, who will resume his lethal left-side combination with winger Maika Sivo.

O’Neill adds Jennings skills and experience will add enormous value in the future as they strive for premiership success.

Besides 12 Tests for Tonga, Jennings has also played 18 State of Origins for NSW and run out seven times for the Kangaroos.
