Peter Sharp joins Eels Football Department

The Dyldam Parramatta Eels are happy to announce Peter Sharp has joined the club's football department.

The former coach of the Cronulla Sharks returned to Blue and Gold HQ this week, and will oversee the list management for NRL, NYC and junior squads alongside Head Coach Brad Arthur and Head of Football Operations, Daniel Anderson.

"Having someone of Peter's experience joining our football staff is going to be invaluable for us," Eels CEO Scott Seward said.

"He has a great rugby league mind and will bring a lot to our future recruitment and retention plans."

A former Eels assistant coach on three occasions in the past 20 years, Sharp will focus on recruitment and retention across the club's football programs, as well as coaching strategies with the junior grades.

"I love the club, and I really think it's on the improve, and I'm excited to take this role on as a new career development for me," Sharp said.

"I think the talent in the Parramatta area is fantastic and untapped, and I'm looking forward to getting straight into things."
