Parramatta’s statement said the release was to “pursue opportunities outside the NRL”.<\/p>\n

“The club would like to thank Zac for his contribution during his time with the Eels in 2025 and we wish him all the best for the future,” the club said.<\/p>\n

Lomax joined the Eels after securing an early release from the St George Illawarra Dragons after a turbulent time at the club.<\/p>\n

The Origin representative signed on a four-year deal with Parramatta and was only one year into it before his exit.<\/p>\n

If Lomax does join R360 he will be subject to the ARLC’s 10-year ban for any NRL player who agrees to join a football competition it does not recognise<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The ARLC has also stated any accredited player agent involved in representing a player who switches will be subject to the same 10-year ban.<\/p>\n

Ryan Papenhuyzen has also been linked with R360 and was released by Melbourne at the end of the season. He is yet to sign with any club or code.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Zac Lomax has been given an immediate release from his contract with the Parramatta Eels.
