The Dyldam Parramatta Eels have today announced the signing of Michael Gordon for the 2016 season.

The winger and fullback will join the club in November for the 2016 pre-season on a one-year deal.

Gordon has played 165 NRL games over a decade-long career at the Penrith Panthers and Cronulla Sharks, and has also played representative football for the NSW Blues and Country Origin.

“Michael is an experienced player and a quality fullback who will bring talent and expertise to our back line, and he deserves the opportunity to be playing in an NRL side,” Head Coach Brad Arthur said.

“Not only is he talented on the field, but his leadership will be valuable for the emerging young players in our squad.”
