Ronald Volkman<\/a> is off contract with the Parramatta Eels<\/a> at the end of the season, with several Super League<\/a> clubs already monitoring his situation as he weighs up his next move.<\/p>\n The 23-year-old playmaker has attracted interest from a host of English sides, with Catalans Dragons<\/a>, Huddersfield Giants<\/a>, Hull FC<\/a>, Leeds Rhinos<\/a>, St Helens<\/a> and York Knights<\/a> all understood to have space or a clear need for a half or five-eighth heading into 2027.<\/p>\n Super League<\/a> clubs have been alerted to Volkman’s availability, with his future set to hinge on how his current NRL<\/a> campaign unfolds at Parramatta.<\/p>\n Volkman has been favoured this week to start at five-eighth ahead of Jonah Pezet<\/a>, further underlining his growing standing within the Eels’ spine.<\/p>\n The young playmaker has made 12 NRL<\/a> appearances to date, including five starts in the No.6 jersey for Parramatta this season. He has scored three tries so far in the current campaign and has been part of a side that has shown mixed but improving results.<\/p>\n Currently, Volkman is part of the preferred halves combination alongside Mitchell Moses<\/a>, and if that partnership continues to develop, Parramatta could yet push to retain him beyond this season despite growing overseas interest.<\/p>\n For now, though, his performances in the coming weeks may prove decisive in determining whether his future remains in the NRL<\/a> or shifts to the expanding Super League<\/a> market.<\/p>\n
