RUGBY league bad boy Paul Carter has pleaded guilty to supplying cocaine to his ex-Roosters teammate Shaun Kenny-Dowall.
Carter did not front the Downing Centre Local Court today but a plea of guilty was entered on his behalf by his solicitor.
He will now be sentenced on November 29 for supplying Kenny-Dowall with cocaine at the popular city nightclub The Ivy in May this year.
The Daily Telegraph understands Carter was captured on the nightclub’s security footage handing over the drugs.
Kenny-Dowall pleaded guilty to having 0.29 grams of cocaine on him when he fronted court earlier this year.
Carter and Kenny-Dowall were teammates for a brief period at the Roosters this year. Both have since been released by the club.
Carter was served with a future court attendance notice for the drug supply charge in July this year and but when he first fronted the Downing Centre Local Court in August he entered a plea of not guilty.
In a statement the NSW Police Force said a future court attendance notice was served after an investigation by Sydney City Local Area Command.
“About 1am on Friday the 5th of May, police will allege that they saw a 25-year-old man supply an illegal drug to another man in a George Street, Sydney nightclub,” the statement said.
Carter was let go in June with the Roosters issuing a short statement saying the club “wished Paul all the best in the future and will not be making any further comment regarding this matter.”
Not Eels related but thought I would put it out there

0.29g is about 3 ungenerous lines, absolutely nothing.
Rumour was that Carter asked SKD to hold it for him then pissed off out the back door.
