St George Illawarra has agreed in principle to release fullback Adam Quinlan so he can take up a one-year deal with Parramatta.

Quinlan, who made 25 appearances for the Dragons, is a handy acquisition for the Eels and coach Brad Arthur in the post-Jarryd Hayne era.

"[Quinlan] can add some quality depth to our back line and be one of many young players challenging for a spot in our starting side," Arthur said.
