Since retiring, he has remained closely associated with the club in ambassadorial and media roles, maintaining strong ties with the NRL community.If confirmed, the appointment would signal a major shift in the Eels\u2019 off-field structure, with Sterling expected to bring deep historical knowledge of the club, leadership experience, and a strong connection to its supporter base.However, as of now, no official statement from the Parramatta Eels or verified NRL sources has confirmed this appointment, and the report should be treated as unverified.Fans have reacted strongly online, with many expressing excitement at the possibility of seeing one of the club\u2019s greatest-ever players return in an executive leadership capacity.<\/p>\n<!--CusAds0-->\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height:
