Parramatta Eels recruit Richie Fa'aoso has been cleared to return to playing rugby league, after passing an approval process with the NRL.
Fa'aoso initially went into retirement in 2013 following a neck injury, but received medical clearance to return to full-time training with the Eels for the 2015 pre-season.
