Preparing for the future under coach Jason Ryles<\/a>, the Parramatta Eels<\/a> have decided to retain the services of a young outside back who made his NRL<\/a> debut during the 2023 season.<\/p>\n After suffering back-to-back injuries, which saw him only play three matches in the past 24 months, Zero Tackle\u00a0understands that Arthur Miller-Stephen<\/a> has returned to the Eels for at least another season and has been seen training with the club’s reserve-grade squad.<\/p>\n It is understood to be an NSWRL (NSW Cup<\/a>) deal.<\/p>\n The nephew of former\u00a0North Queensland Cowboys<\/a> winger Marshall Miller, Miller-Stephen has been incredibly unlucky throughout the course of his playing career but did manage to make his NRL<\/a> debut in Round 23 of the 2023 season against the St George Illawarra Dragons<\/a>.<\/p>\n Still only at the start of his career, the 22-year-old will be looking to impress club officials next year as he attempts to notch up more appearances in the top level.<\/p>\n In extending the winger, the Eels have also retained Patrick Spence, Max Tupou and Meni Luke, all of whom have been playing in the club’s pathways competitions – either the NSW Cup<\/a> or Jersey Flegg Cup<\/a>.<\/p>\n An Eels junior, Spence is versatile in a number of different positions but has primarily played in the dummy-half role over the past couple of years.<\/p>\n
