Warrington Wolves forward Ryan Matterson has said he would stay in Super League beyond the current campaign if given the opportunity.<\/b><\/p>\n

The 30-year-old made his Wire debut against Leigh last week having joined on loan from Parramatta Eels until the end of the season.<\/p>\n

Matterson was released from his Parramatta contract for the rest of this season in order to join Warrington<\/a> but remains under contract with the Eels for 2026.<\/p>\n

Asked by BBC Radio Merseyside whether he could be tempted to stay if a deal was offered beyond this season, Matterson said: “Definitely. Anything that is the right fit for me, that’s what I’m willing to do.<\/p>\n

“I’m definitely contracted to Parramatta next year. [On] 30 June [I] finished up in Australia, after which you can’t change teams, and I needed to enjoy my football again.<\/p>\n

“The club has spoken to my manager about the future and next year and things like that. I’ve told him he can sort that out; I’m focused on the short term.”<\/p>\n

Matterson has had an injury-plagued 2025 with his debut against Leigh coming after a nine-week lay-off before arriving in the UK.<\/p>\n

“It was good to get some game time and I’m going to be better for it,” he added.<\/p>\n

“I think I’ve got over the injury now and I am looking forward to a strong end to the season.<\/p>\n

“I was a little bit sore [after the game]. I definitely felt the contact in Super League and it was as strong as I expected. That’s what I was told before I came here and that’s why I was really looking forward to it.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Warrington Wolves forward Ryan Matterson has said he would stay in Super League beyond the current campaign if…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":320230,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4102],"tags":[4151,79,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-320229","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-rugby","8":"tag-rugby","9":"tag-sports","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114977066498438017","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/320229","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=320229"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/320229\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/320230"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=320229"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=320229"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=320229"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
