Fellows becomes an Eel till 2018.
Wagga Kangaroos product Matthew Fellows has signed on with NRL Parramatta Eels for 3 seasons.
The Group 9 reperesentative had a breakout 2015 season where he not only went to the Country Rugby League Championships with his group team, but he also was selected to play at the NSW Schoolboy Carnival at Toronto NSW where he represented Southern CHS with aplomb.
The elusive backrower is enjoying his time in Rugby LEague having grown up with AFL, which is quite common in the Riverina of NSW. Discussing the signing with the Eels, Matts Father David commented, "I come from a mad AFL family and Matt has been steadfast in his love of Rugby League. He definately has a passion for it and the past 12 months have given him a lot of confidence as he has mixed it with the next level at representative games. The process of trialing with a few clubs has done wonders as he turned up the Eels trial knowing what was coming and was prepared for it, made the adjustments and played really well. I am very happy for him, but now the real hard work starts."
When interviewed about Matt signing with the club, Anthony Field who is the list and recruitment manager for the Parramatta Eels said, "Every now and then these trials toss up a smokey that aren't in systems, and that is the point of having these trials. From the second he touched the ball you could see that extra 10% in Matt and to know there is mostly upside in him gives us confidence that after he goes through our development plan with him, we shoud have a footballer that shaould come down to compete at the highest levels."
