2024 NRL Signings Tracker: Eels Land explosive winger , Terrell Joins Tigers
As the 2024 NRL season draws closer, clubs are finalizing their rosters with key signings that could shape the competition. Two of the biggest moves in recent weeks have seen Parramatta Eels land explosive winger Josh “The Foxx” Addo-Carr, while Wests Tigers have added young talent Terrell May to their squad. These moves have added intrigue and excitement as the teams head into the new season.
**The Foxx Joins the Eels**
In a significant coup for the Parramatta Eels, the club has confirmed the signing of Josh Addo-Carr, widely regarded as one of the NRL’s most dynamic and dangerous wingers. The 28-year-old has been one of the competition’s standout players during his time with the Canterbury Bulldogs, known for his blistering pace, try-scoring ability, and electrifying presence on the field. Addo-Carr’s move to the Eels is a major boost for the club, which has long been in need of a game-breaking winger to complement its attacking structure.
Eels head coach Brad Arthur expressed his excitement about the signing, noting that Addo-Carr’s experience and ability to finish plays would add a new dimension to their backline. “Josh is an exceptional talent and will bring a lot of energy to our squad. His speed and finishing skills will be invaluable as we look to take the next step in the competition,” Arthur said.
The move also sees Addo-Carr reunite with his former coach from the Canterbury Bulldogs, Arthur, who guided the winger during his early NRL years. The Eels have struggled to find consistent success in recent seasons, and the addition of Addo-Carr will undoubtedly add firepower to a team that is already brimming with potential.
For Addo-Carr, the move represents an exciting new chapter in his career. Having won multiple NRL Premierships with the Melbourne Storm, and played for New South Wales in State of Origin, the Foxx is looking to replicate that success with the Eels and help propel them to a long-awaited title.
**Terrell May Seals Move to the Tigers**
In another exciting development, the Wests Tigers have made a statement by securing the signature of promising young forward Terrell May. The 22-year-old, who impressed during his time with the Penrith Panthers, will bring a fresh dynamic to the Tigers’ forward pack. Known for his strength, agility, and tireless work ethic, May is considered one of the most exciting young forwards in the NRL.
May’s decision to join the Tigers is seen as part of the club’s broader strategy to invest in youth and build a team for the future. Tigers coach Tim Sheens is known for his ability to develop young players, and the addition of May will likely provide a spark in the middle of the field.
“Terrell is a player who has immense potential,” Sheens said in a statement. “We’re excited to have him onboard and believe he will be a key part of our forward rotation for years to come. His ability to break tackles and contribute to our defensive structure will be crucial as we continue to build a competitive side.”
For May, the move to the Tigers presents an opportunity for more regular first-grade appearances, with the Panthers’ stacked forward pack limiting his chances of consistent starting spots. Joining the Tigers gives him a chance to showcase his skills in a more prominent role, and he will be eager to make a mark in the NRL.
**Looking Ahead**
As the 2024 NRL season nears, these signings are just the beginning of what promises to be an exciting year of recruitment. The Eels’ acquisition of Addo-Carr adds another weapon to their already potent attacking game, while the Tigers’ addition of Terrell May signals the club’s commitment to building a team for the future. Both clubs will be hoping that these signings will play a key role in their pursuit of NRL success in the coming seasons.
With more signings expected before the season kicks off, the NRL off-season remains as busy as ever, with clubs striving to position themselves for a shot at the 2024 Premiership. As always, the right signings at the right time can make all the difference, and both the Eels and Tigers will be hoping their new acquisitions can make an immediate impact.
