Today
The club has now returned as a new club in the NSW Premier League. The New club name is Parramatta FC, which is a partnership between Melita Eagles and (GDSFA) Granville & Districts Soccer Football Association
The club played in the NSW Super League until and including 2010, when it was sold to the Granville & Districts Soccer Football Association (GDSFA). After several years of rebuilding, the First Grade team finished as 2010 Premiers and, as a result, the club became eligible for promotion to Premier League, an opportunity that was too good to let slip. The 2011 season was played under the slightly changed name, Parramatta FC (nickname the Eagles).
Even though the Parramatta FC First Grade team finished at the bottom of the NSW Premier League ladder in 2011, strong performances by the Under 20 and Under 18 teams ensured that the club remained eligible to play Premier League for 2012. As an Association-owned 'State League' club, a clear pathway for the 13,000 GDSFA players was established with the intention of returning the Eagles to its former status as the club of choice for all.
Currently the Eagles 'Parramatta FC' have just begun a new season in the top tier of NSW Football, the NSW Premier League They are currently coached by Lee Sterrey
