Parramatta set to re-sign coach Daniel Anderson until 2013

October 12, 2009

Parramatta are moving to keep coach Daniel Anderson at the club until the end of 2013.

Eels chief executive Paul Osborne would not reveal the length of any new deal for Anderson, but it is likely to be two more seasons.

Osborne said his club was looking to retain the grand final coach to ensure long-term stability.

"I will talk to the board about it," Osborne said on Sunday night.

"We will get Jarryd (Hayne) officially signed and then look to lock down the coach for a bit longer.

"We want to get some stability around the place.

"Daniel did an absolutely outstanding job this season. He turned the place around.

"The players have a great relationship with him, as do I.

"It is important moving forward that we get stability with our players and coaches."

On Monday Anderson was unconcerned about contract negotiations as he recharges after his first season at the helm.

"I'm on holidays. I'm having a rest," Anderson said.

Despite speculation about his future, winger Luke Burt seems certain to remain at Parramatta in 2010.

However, the future of fellow winger Eric Grothe at the club remains uncertain.

Grothe, a powerful performer in the grand final against Melbourne Storm, has been linked with a move to Japanese rugby union.

Hayne will sign a lucrative four-year deal this week.
