KENNY PUTS NAME UP FOR PARRA JOB

RUGBY league legend Brett Kenny submitted an employment resume to Parramatta’s seven-member board on Monday seeking to join the Eels staff next season as an assistant coach.

Kenny’s application claims he “can make a significant impact to the performance of the NRL side”.

“I strongly believe I can grow and build the Parramatta Eels into a highly successful organisation. I strongly believe with my playing experience, achievements and qualifications can make a significant impact on the performance of the Parramatta Eels and have a positive impact on the culture of the organisation.”

The 60-year-old, who won four premierships at Parramatta, hopes he can secure a dual role that includes being a junior development officer.

“This is an area I believe requires enormous attention,” he wrote.

Kenny addressed his application to Eels football club chairman, Sean McElduff, and Parramatta Leagues Club president, Greg Monaghan.

A former Golden Boot winner, Kenny listed his extensive achievements as a player for Parramatta, City, NSW, Australia and Wigan. Parramatta’s supporter base has always loved and respected Kenny.
