Manly forward Anthony Watmough has taken to social media to deny he has signed a three-year deal with the Parramatta Eels from 2016.

Following reports in Fairfax media that the deal had already been done, the Sea Eagles back-rower took to social media to hose down the rumours.

"The story in the SMH online is completely wrong. I have not signed with any club beyond 2015," Watmough wrote.

Completely false good to see you got your facts wrong again http://t.co/CmbMorNS5f
