Raiders prop Junior Paulo will join the Parramatta Eels at the end of the season on a four-year contract, the Eels have confirmed.

The Parramatta junior who made his NRL debut for the club in 2013 will wear the blue and gold from 2019 through to the end of the 2022 season, having made the switch to Canberra in 2016.

The 187cm, 123kg Samoa international will add size and impact to an Eels pack that has struggled this sea.

"I'm looking forward to having junior back at Parramatta," Parramatta coach Brad Arthur said.

"It is always great to have a local Parramatta Eels junior return to our club and I know Junior will be an asset to our team next year."
