The Parramatta Eels are delighted to announce that Steve Georgallis will be the Club’s new NRLW Head Coach for the 2024 and 2025 seasons.
Steve has four decades of experience in rugby league both as a player and coach, including most recently spending the last three years with the North Queensland Cowboys as assistant coach.
“I’m really looking forward to connecting with the Eels playing group and working closely with assistant coach Kate Mullaly and the rest of our staff to ensure we build a successful football program next season.
“Western Sydney is the heart of rugby league and the Parramatta Eels are a big part of that, so it’s very exciting to lead the women’s program and continue to build on the great work that has already been done in that space,” said Steve.
Parramatta Eels CEO Jim Sarantinos said, “Steve brings a wealth of rugby league knowledge and experience that we know our NRLW team will greatly benefit from.
“We have made significant investments in our women’s program and we are looking forward to our NRLW program benefiting from the many years of coaching experience and fresh perspective that Steve will bring to the Club,” said Jim.
In addition to his role as NRLW head coach, Steve will also be the Coaching Director of the Club’s Elite Pathways program.
Steve played 229 games during his career both in Australia and the UK and has also enjoyed a long coaching career, including stints as Interim Head Coach with Penrith in 2011 and the Bulldogs in 2020, as well as being the current Head Coach for Greece.
The Parramatta Eels are currently treating five injured players in off-season rehabilitation.
