Dylan Walker Joins Parramatta Eels in a Game-Changing Move
Big news in the NRL world—Dylan Walker is officially joining the Parramatta Eels, and this move could shake things up in a big way.

This transfer comes at a crucial time for Parramatta. With Dylan Brown set to leave for the Newcastle Knights on a massive 10-year, $13 million deal, the Eels needed a strong replacement. And who better than Walker? With 232 first-grade appearances under his belt, a premiership win with South Sydney in 2014, and a reputation for playing across multiple positions, Walker brings both skill and adaptability to the squad.
Walker’s arrival is part of the broader changes being implemented by new Eels coach Jason Ryles. While Brown is still with the team for now, there are growing calls—especially from Parramatta legend Nathan Hindmarsh—for the club to release him early. If that happens, Walker could step into a more prominent role alongside star halfback Mitchell Moses.
The Warriors, though reluctant to let Walker go, understood his need to return to Sydney. Warriors CEO Cameron George acknowledged Walker’s contributions to the club and wished him the best, saying, "We were keen for Dylan to stay until the end of the season, but we appreciate why he needs to return."
For the Eels, this move couldn't have come at a better time. After losing their first three games under Ryles, the team desperately needs a boost. Walker’s experience, toughness, and playmaking ability could provide exactly that. He won’t be available for the Eels' next match against Manly, but fans can expect to see him in action against the Dragons in Round 5.
So, what does this mean for Parramatta? A new dynamic in the lineup, fresh energy on the field, and potentially a much-needed turnaround in their season. Walker’s addition is more than just a signing—it’s a statement that the Eels are serious about staying competitive in 2025.
