THE ruthless player clear out at St George Illawarra has continued with the Dragons releasing utility Adam Quinlan to join Parramatta.

After falling out of favour with Paul McGregor towards the end of the 2014 season, Quinlan is the latest to join Brett Morris, Gerard Beale and several others out the exit door.

The 22-year-old played 25 games for the Dragons, and Eels coach Brad Arthur said a player versatile enough to play in the halves, at fullback, wing or centre was a valuable addition.

“Adam is a talented and versatile player who will be a great addition to our side this year,” Arthur said on Tuesday morning.

“He can add some quality depth to our back line and be one of many young players challenging for a spot in our starting side.”

Dragons coach McGregor thanked Quinlan for his services and wished him luck with his new club.

“Adam has received in principle an opportunity to join the Parramatta Eels for at least the remainder of the season,” McGregor said.

“We wish him the very best for his future and thank him for all his contributions to our club.”
