MANLY have made star Parramatta fullback Clinton Gutherson their number one target for next season.

A Sea Eagles junior, Gutherson has been a shining light for the Eels over the past couple of years but is off contract in a few months and has yet to re-sign with the club.

The 24-year-old utility back began his top grade career at Manly in 2013 before switching to the Eels in 2016.

Gutherson has been impressive in 2019.

He has shone at fullback for Parramatta and while Manly has a world class fullback in Tom Trbojevic, Gutherson can also play centre, wing and five-eighth.

The utility back is a big fan of Eels coach Brad Arthur and may wait until the club decides his fate before signing on at either club for 2020.

But Gutherson’s family all live at Manly and he retains strong ties to the Sea Eagles district.
