In a stunning development, Parramatta Eels star prop Reagan Campbell-Gillard has terminated his contract, leaving the club blindsided and scrambling for answers.
The sudden decision has shocked teammates, coaching staff, and fans alike, with the powerhouse forward a key figure in Parramatta’s forward pack. Known for his aggressive running, physical presence, and leadership on the field, Campbell-Gillard’s departure will leave a significant void for the Eels heading into the upcoming NRL season.
The reasons behind his decision remain unclear, but sources suggest growing tensions within the club and speculation of interest from rival NRL teams or overseas competitions could have played a role.
Eels coach Brad Arthur is yet to address the media, but insiders have indicated the team was unaware of the star prop’s plans. Campbell-Gillard, a former Kangaroos and Blues representative, had been a cornerstone of Parramatta’s squad since joining the club in 2020.
Fans have reacted with disbelief, flooding social media with questions about the future of the club’s premiership aspirations. Parramatta had been building a strong roster, with Campbell-Gillard viewed as a vital piece of their forward dominance.
The Eels are expected to release an official statement in the coming days as the club begins the search for answers and a replacement for one of the NRL’s most reliable big men.
