Warrington Wolves have announced the signing of forward Ryan Matterson on loan from Parramatta Eels for the remainder of the 2025 season. 

The 30-year-old bolsters Warrington's middle unit as they enter the business end of the Betfred Super League campaign and can play in multiple positions in the pack. 

Matterson brings a wealth of NRL experience with him, having represented the Eels, Sydney Roosters and West Tigers in 181 appearances, scoring 26 tries. 

In 2022 he represented New South Wales in the State of Origin series. He brings size and presence to our pack at 194cm and 107kg. 

Matterson will fly over to the UK later this week and could make his debut in the Wolves' next Super League game against Leigh Leopards on August 1st. 

He will wear the number 40 shirt in the primrose and blue.

Ryan Matterson said: “I’m excited to be joining Warrington for the rest of the 2025 season and can’t wait to get over there.

“Once I touch down, it’s straight to work. I’m coming in ready to make a real impact and help drive the team towards the play-offs.

“I’m looking forward to experiencing the Super League and embracing the challenge. I can’t wait to feel the energy and passion of the Warrington fans.”

Warrington Wolves Head Coach Sam Burgess added: “It’s great to add a player of Ryan’s quality to our squad as we approach the back end of the season. 

“His power and presence through the middle, combined with his vast NRL experience, will bring a lot of value to our pack.”
