Foran stood down indefinitely by Parramatta

Parramatta captain Kieran Foran has been stood down indefinitely by the Eels to deal with personal issues.

It is believed that Foran is struggling to deal with the breakdown of his relationship with his long-term partner, who recently gave birth to the couple’s second child.

“The Parramatta Eels have granted Kieran Foran an indefinite leave of absence to seek the best possible medical treatment regarding a personal matter,” the Eels said in a statement.

“The club will be making no further comment and request that the media respect Kieran’s privacy at this time.”
