Parramatta have signed Zac Lomax to a four-year contract, officially ending the disgruntled St George Illawarra winger’s search for a new NRL club. Lomax’s frustrations at being shifted to the wing have permeated the Dragons’ season thus far, but he will not be permitted to leave until the end of 2024. The 24-year-old had been linked with a switch to the Eels since news of his agitation for a release became public this year, and the club confirmed his signing on Tuesday morning.
The Dragons are understood not to be contributing any of Lomax’s salary going forward after being reluctant to cut him loose from the final two years of his deal. Lomax is set to return to the centres with the Eels, who have secured his services until the end of the 2028 season. Will Penisini has a lock on one centre spot at Parramatta but they have long lacked a second elite player in the position.
