Outside back, Haze Dunster is set to remain at the Parramatta Eels for next season as he looks to contend for the vacant spot on the wing left by the departing Maika Sivo.
Missing a significant portion of this year due to a Lisfranc injury, he has failed to cement a regular spot in the starting team but will have 12 more months as he looks to impress new head coach Jason Ryles.
According to The Daily Telegraph, it is understood that he will remain at the Eels next season with Dunster and the club agreeing to take up the mutual option in his contract.
A member of the club's Top 30 roster since 2020, next season would make it Dunster's sixth season at Parramatta and will see him once again provide coverage to the outside backs and contend with the likes of Jake Tago, Sean Russell, Jordan Samrani and Joash Papalii.
The 25-year-old has registered 19 first-grade matches and three tries since his debut.
