In the official statement released by the club, Nathan Hindmarsh expressed his overwhelming gratitude and emotion, admitting that he never imagined such an honour would be bestowed upon him during his playing days. He described the statue as not just a representation of himself, but a tribute to the entire Parramatta community and every fan who stood by the club through thick and thin. Hindmarsh spoke about the pride he feels to have his image stand forever at the gates where future generations of players and supporters will walk, symbolising the hard work, loyalty and never-say-die spirit that the Eels are known for.

The announcement has been met with widespread celebration across the rugby league world. Hindmarsh, who retired as the club’s most capped player with over 330 games, was famous for his incredible toughness, relentless work rate and humble character. He becomes one of the very few elite legends to receive such a permanent monument, joining the ranks of the game’s greatest icons whose statues grace stadium entrances.

Club officials confirmed that the statue will capture Hindmarsh in his iconic playing pose, serving as a beacon of inspiration for the young talents coming through the ranks. Fans have already taken to social media to express their joy, stating that no one deserves this recognition more than the man who gave his heart and soul to the Parramatta Eels. This magnificent tribute will forever stand as a reminder of one of the greatest eras in the club’s history.
