New South Wales State of Origin lock Nathan Brown has inked a new two-year deal with the Parramatta Eels.

Brown has re-signed until the end of 2023 after protracted contract negotiations that saw the club’s initial two-year offer pulled amid uncertainty around fellow big guns Mitchell Moses and Ryan Matterson.

The 28-year-old is in line to return from a hip injury this week as the Eels await a final NRL decision on whether their NSW Cup players will be available for selection pending biosecurity advice.
