Parramatta coach Brad Arthur has signed a contract extension, tying him to the club until at least the end of 2022.
The 46-year-old was already contracted until the end of next season, though given the Eels' form this year, it's no surprise they were keen to lock him down further.
Parramatta currently sit third on the ladder, having only lost two games for the year.

"Brad and the playing group have built on the progress made in 2019 to deliver a strong start to the 2020 season but I know that they see this as only the platform from which to build on," Sarantinos said.
"Our retention and recruitment planning means that we have a strong squad that is locked in for an extended period and we believe Brad’s strong relationship with this playing group will be an important factor in achieving our goals as a club."
Arthur himself said he was keen to continue building on what the team has done so far.
"I’m really pleased that the club has the confidence in me to continue to lead the team towards our goal of bringing success to our members and fans," he said.
"Our playing group has evolved quite considerably over the last couple of years and they are determined to drive high standards to ensure we achieve our goals."
Arthur has been at the helm at Parramatta since 2014, coaching 166 games for 83 wins and a percentage of exactly 50.
