While many fans have long dreamed of seeing him back on the field, his new role will focus on strengthening the club’s rugby operations, providing invaluable leadership behind the scenes.   A Strategic Appointment for Parramatta   Details of Hindmarsh’s position are yet to be fully disclosed, but it is understood that he will take on a senior role within the Eels’ coaching or development staff. With head coach Jason Ryles leading the club into a new era, Hindmarsh’s experience, leadership, and deep knowledge of Parramatta’s culture are seen as vital assets.   Club officials have described his appointment as a “significant move” that ensures one of the club’s most revered figures continues to contribute to the Eels’ success.   Fan and Expert Reactions   Parramatta supporters have responded with excitement and pride at Hindmarsh’s return, recognizing the importance of keeping club legends involved.   “He’s blue and gold through and through! Fantastic to see him back where he belongs,” one fan posted on social media.   Rugby league analysts have also praised the decision, with former player and commentator Braith Anasta stating, “Hindmarsh is one of the smartest and hardest-working players to ever wear the Eels jersey. Having him involved behind the scenes is a massive win for the club.”   Hindmarsh’s Thoughts on His Return   Speaking about his new role, Hindmarsh shared his excitement about rejoining the Eels in an official capacity.   “Parramatta has been a huge part of my life, and I’ve always wanted to stay involved in some way,” Hindmarsh said. “I’m looking forward to helping the team from a different perspective and doing everything I can to contribute to the club’s success.”   With Hindmarsh now playing a leadership role off the field, the Eels have added a club legend to their support staff—one who knows exactly what it takes to thrive at Parramatta. Fans may not see him in a jersey again, but his impact on the team is far from over.
