In a surprising move, Parramatta Eels legend Bryce Cartwright has officially terminated his contract, leaving the rugby league community stunned. The versatile back-rower, known for his athleticism, offloading ability, and creativity on the field, has made the decision to step away from the club after an impressive stint.
Cartwright, who has been a key figure for the Eels in recent seasons, made the announcement following weeks of speculation about his future. The 29-year-old’s exit marks the end of a chapter with the Parramatta Eels, where he regained form and became a fan favorite for his hard work and commitment to the team’s success.
While Cartwright did not provide detailed reasons for his decision, insiders suggest it could be linked to personal or career development outside of rugby league. In his official statement, Cartwright thanked the Eels and their fans for their unwavering support. “It’s been an incredible journey with Parramatta, and I’ll always cherish the memories and relationships I’ve built here. This decision was not made lightly, but I feel it’s the right time to move on,” he said.
Parramatta Eels head coach Brad Arthur expressed his admiration for Cartwright’s contributions to the team. “Bryce has been an important part of our squad. His ability to change games with his skills and unpredictability made him a valuable asset, and his presence will be missed both on and off the field.”
Cartwright’s termination has left many in the rugby league community questioning his next move. Will he seek a fresh start in the NRL with another club, or could retirement or a switch to a different code be on the horizon? His future remains uncertain, but one thing is clear—Cartwright has left an indelible mark on the Eels and the game of rugby league.
The football community, shocked by this sudden departure, will now wait to see what the future holds for one of the game’s most talented and enigmatic figures.
