Radradra’s manager has been warned by the NRL of serious repercussions and a long-term ban from the NRL if he quits the Parramatta Eels mid-contract.

Christodoulou met with NRL integrity unit boss Nick Weeks on Tuesday following reports Radradra was planning to walk out on rugby league to play French rugby union.

The Eels later confirrmed in a statement that Radradra would return as expected to prepare for the club’s next NRL game against Cronulla, on Saturday, July 2.

“Semi has also assured the club today that he will remain with the Eels as per his contract until at least the end of the 2017 season,” the statement said.

“Like other Eels players during the bye round, Semi was granted leave by the club to return home and visit family. This has led to some unnecessary speculation regarding his future,” Christodoulou said in the statement.

“I have spoken to Semi directly and he would like to assure Eels fans and the wider rugby league community that he will be returning as scheduled in time to prepare for Eels’ next NRL game against Cronulla.

“He remains fully committed to his teammates and will be remaining with the Eels until at least the end of the 2017 season, as per his current contract.”
