Parramatta Eels captain Clint Gutherson finally agreed to a new deal with the NRL club, extending his contract until the end of 2022.

Gutherson, 24, re-signed with the Eels on Thursday after a contract saga that cast doubt over his future in Parramatta.

Eels head coach Brad Arthur, who signed a contract extension earlier this week, was thrilled the full-back was staying with the club.

"I love coaching Clint. The energy and commitment he brings to work every day is unparalleled," he said in a statement.

"His team-mates look up to him and he sets a great example to the whole playing squad. I'm very happy he's staying."
