Thorman rejected Eels option
Chris Thorman rejected an offer to spend another 12 months at Parramatta, according to Sporting Life.
"I had a 12-month option with Parramatta but I have had a bit of a frustrating season and I had a fair few offers from English clubs. I have missed my family and I have missed my friends and the English life, I suppose, but that was not a massive factor. I just weighed everything up.
"The team has probably under-performed and that has had a bit to do with it. I've been in and out of the side but I knew it would be like this. I have learned a hell of a lot and, if nothing else, I am going to come back a better player. That was the main aim."
