Finally, He’s Back: Jarryd Hayne Returns to Take Over Parramatta Eels as Fullback for the 2025 NRL Season

In a thrilling and unexpected turn of events, rugby league superstar Jarryd Hayne has announced his return to the NRL, rejoining the Parramatta Eels as their fullback for the 2025 season. After years away from the game, Hayne’s highly anticipated comeback has sent shockwaves through the rugby league community, igniting excitement among Eels fans and the wider NRL world.

Hayne, 35, had previously made headlines with his illustrious career, which included a Dally M Player of the Year award, multiple State of Origin appearances, and a spot on the Australian Rugby League team. His decision to step away from the game and pursue other ventures left fans wondering if they’d ever see the dynamic player on the field again. But after years of speculation, it’s clear that the electric fullback has unfinished business with Parramatta.

The Eels, a club that has always held a special place in Hayne’s heart, will benefit from his return, especially after the team has been looking for that explosive, game-changing presence at fullback. Hayne’s uncanny ability to read the game, make dazzling runs, and provide crucial attacking plays made him one of the most feared players in the competition during his prime years. His leadership and experience are expected to have a significant impact on a young Eels squad looking to make a push for the NRL title.

The timing of Hayne’s return is perfect for Parramatta, who are eager to make a strong run in the 2025 season. With the club bolstering its squad and Hayne now at the helm of their backline, expectations are high. Fans are eagerly anticipating the Hayne magic to return as he takes over the fullback position, adding a new dynamic to the team.

This return marks a new chapter in Jarryd Hayne’s remarkable career, and the 2025 NRL season is set to be an unforgettable one for both him and the Parramatta Eels.
