Parramatta Eels General Manager of Football, Mark O’Neill said, “Oregon is another important signing for us, he’s a very talented player and an exceptional young man with great character. He’s come through our elite pathways system and it’s wonderful to see so many of our juniors finding their feet in the NRL.

“He is having a strong off-season, and will continue to develop alongside the likes of experienced teammates Junior Paulo and Reagan Campbell Gillard.”
