This news comes after the departures of George Jennings and Jordan Grant.
Following the confirmed departures of George Jennings and Jordan Grant, Tom Eisenhuth has become the latest player to leave the Melbourne Storm.
Beginning his NRL career in 2012 with the Penrith Panthers, he would manage just one first grade game before spending the next five seasons with the Panthers NSW Cup team. It was mid-2018 when he signed for Melbourne Storm on the rescue route. Playing the remainder of 2018 with the Sunshine Coast Falcons – Melbourne’s affiliated club at the time – he made his debut for the club

in the opening round of 2019. Since then, he has played 58 games for the Storm, including 18 this season.
His career also included representing the NSW Blues U18 team and being named on the Junior Kangaroos exchange bench in 2012 to face the Junior Kiwis.
“It’s been a really good [journey], I came here to play just one game a few years ago and I’m really proud to have played 50 games and more for this club, it’s has been an unreal journey,” Eisenhuth said in a club statement.
“I am so grateful for this opportunity, you have worked hard to work on your craft as a child and to have a chance and another chance to make your dreams come true…I’m really just lucky.

“It was a really good year for me, after the year before that I thought I only played a handful of games.

“So to play as much football as I did this year, avoid some injuries and play good football…we made it to the qualifying round [preliminary final], disappointingly disappointed because we couldn’t go any further. But for me personally it was a pretty good year.
“This club has a very good relationship with the old boys, and you know, there’s that number [Storm player No. 192] and being able to go back a few years later and find all these people I played with and even people I never played with… it’s great to have that connection .

Melbourne Storm general manager of football Frank Ponissi thanked the chief executive for his years of service to the football club.
“Tom has been an integral member of our team throughout his career and is very popular and respected among his teammates and the club as a whole,” Ponissi said.
“Tom has demonstrated incredible strength and resilience throughout his journey through a series of injury-related setbacks. The way he has handled these challenges, on and off the field, is admirable and a testament to the man he is.

“We would like to say a huge thank you to Tom, his partner Hannah and young Henry for their contributions to the club over the years. They will always be welcome at the club and we wish them all the best for their next chapter.
