It's been a whirlwind year for NRLW superstar Keilee Joseph.
Fresh from winning her second premiership title with the Brisbane Broncos while also guiding the Jillaroos to an epic Pacific Cup victory, Joseph is now heading back to Sydney.
She has revealed that she will be playing for Parramatta next season, but there's a reason behind the move.
Joseph is moving back to New South Wales to be closer to her fiance, Jack, after having lived away from her beau for the past two years while in Brisbane.
She turned down offers from her old club the Roosters, the Wests Tigers and settled on moving back to Penrith and join up with Parramatta.
'It was a great season with the Broncos this year, finishing off with a ring,' Joseph told The Courier Mail.

It's been a busy year for Joseph, who has made 13 appearances for the Broncos this season, making 399 tackles and amassing 1,429 running metres
'But my partner is in Penrith and I thought it's just time to come home.
'I'm really excited to have a fresh start at Parramatta.
'Hopefully I can bring some knowledge to their team and help lead the forward pack.'
The Eels will kickstart their 2026 season against the Wests Tigers on Jul 5.
'It's such a good bunch of girls at the Broncos, but I just know for me moving forward Parramatta is the best decision for me,' Joseph added.

But next year is set to be even bigger.
'It's been a massive year,' the former Broncos lock said.
The pair are now set to get married next year with the Eels set to return to NRLW action on July 5

'I get married at the end of next year, so that's another reason I had to come home. Wedding planning. It's a big year coming.
'We have the World Cup, and then two weeks later is our wedding day.'
Joseph, who began her NRLW journey playing for the Sydney Roosters, is excited to take a bit of time off first.
'I can’t wait for the off-season,' she says.
'We’re going on a holiday to Hamilton Island to relax. I’m very excited to switch off a bit.'
