Melbourne Storm will release Jason Ryles from his contract early to begin preparations for his new role as head coach of the Parramatta Eels.
Ryles was last week appointed to the Eels role and will finish up with Storm at the end of this week.
“On behalf of everyone at the Melbourne Storm, we congratulate Jason on his appointment to senior coach at the Eels,”
Storm CEO, Justin Rodski
“Given the significance of this opportunity for Jason, we have agreed an early release is in the best interest of both parties.”
“Jason returned to Storm for the 2024 season, and although only back at the club for a short time, he has had an immediate positive impact on our players, football department and broader club.”
“Jason is a quality person and coach, we thank him for his contribution in 2024 and wish him, his wife Alana and his family all the best for the future.”
