Departed Parramatta Eels<\/a> forwards Dan Keir<\/a> and Wiremu Greig<\/a> have both signed new deals ahead of the 2026 season, which will allow them to continue their rugby league playing careers.<\/p>\n

One of the eight players farewelled by the club in September<\/a>, Greig has joined the Townsville Blackhawks in the QLD Cup<\/a> competition on a one-year deal for next season after being offered to several teams in the NRL<\/a> and Super League<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Starting his career at the North Queensland Cowboys<\/a>, the front-rower made the switch to the Eels in 2021 and went on to play 27 matches for the club.<\/p>\n

However, his tenure was continually plagued by multiple injuries, which included a season-ending Lisfranc injury in 2023 and a rib issue that sidelined him for multiple games this year.<\/p>\n

Also signing with a new club is development player Dan Keir<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Primarily playing in the back-row or at lock, Keir played in seven matches for the club over the past two seasons but predominantly spent most of his time in the NSW Cup<\/a> reserve-grade competition.<\/p>\n

Farwelled by the Eels,\u00a0Zero Tackle\u00a0understands that the 27-year-old has signed a NSWRL contract with the South Sydney Rabbitohs<\/a> as the Cardinal and Myrtle continue to rebuild their rosters in the lower grades.<\/p>\n

A member of the 2016 Australian Schoolboys side and son of former Canberra Raiders<\/a>, Sydney Roosters<\/a> and North Sydney Bears winger Steve Keir, Dan scored three tries, averaged 74 running metres and made 567 tackles and five line-breaks in the NSW Cup<\/a> this season.<\/p>\n
