SYDNEY – Bryce Cartwright’s time at the Parramatta Eels is nearing its end, with reports confirming the experienced forward will leave the club at the conclusion of the 2025 NRL season.
The 29-year-old back-rower, known for his offloading ability and creative flair, joined the Eels in 2021 after previous stints with the Penrith Panthers and Gold Coast Titans. Since arriving at Parramatta, Cartwright has revitalised his career, becoming a key figure in Brad Arthur’s forward rotation and playing a vital role in the club’s 2022 Grand Final run.

Despite battling injury setbacks in recent years, Cartwright remained a fan favourite thanks to his work rate and unpredictability on the field. However, as the Eels undergo a transitional phase following Arthur’s departure, the club is believed to be reshaping its roster with an eye on youth and long-term development.
The next destination for Cartwright remains unclear, but the veteran is expected to attract interest from several rival clubs seeking experience and versatility in their forward packs. With over 170 NRL appearances to his name, his departure marks the end of a significant chapter in Parramatta’s recent history.
More details on Cartwright’s future are expected to emerge in the coming weeks as clubs continue to finalise their rosters ahead of the 2026 season.
