Experienced Eels centre Michael Jennings said he had attracted some late interest from Canterbury but was happy to thrash out a new two-year deal with Parramatta he will sign off on later this week.

Jennings was keen to lock down a new deal a few months back and was delighted he would now remain in the blue and gold until the end of 2021.

The Bulldogs were interested in the 31-year-old, who remains a huge threat in the centres and would have brought plenty of big-game experience.The outside backs stocks at Belmore are noticeably thin, and Morgan Harper will be given his NRL debut this weekend.

The Bulldogs were only prepared to offer Jennings a one-year deal before the Eels finally came to the party with a two-year contract.
