The Parramatta Eels would like to provide an update regarding Josh Addo-Carr following a driving incident in September.
After reviewing all relevant information, including the negative result of the B sample, the Club has cleared Josh in relation to the issues raised following the incident. The NRL has also confirmed it will not be taking any further action, and the Club now considers the matter closed.
Separately, the Club has informed Josh and his management that it will not be seeking to extend his current contract beyond the end of the 2027 season.
Following these discussions, Josh and the Club have mutually agreed that it is in his best interests to immediately explore opportunities elsewhere to give Josh the best opportunity to secure his future.
The Club will continue to support Josh as he considers his next opportunity.

He will be a cheap buy for a better team like Roosters or Sharkies. Both need a winger. Well done Parra
We have to be getting someone else, if they are prepared to let him go, Burton would be a good pick up.
Schiller 😂
We overpayed for Schiller to beat the tigers when we thought the Fox would be sacked.
The derp is strong in this club.
Let's trot 😜
Ok how about this theory? Rabbitohs sign Sam Walker but need to clear space and get rid of a couple of players including Campbell Graham. I'd take him in a heartbeat.
It's pretty clear that both the Eels and JAC assumed his B sample would be positive and made plans accordingly. JAC went into rehab, and the Eels moved onto plans for a team without JAC in it.
Then the B sample came back negative and everyone was shocked. So we couldn't fire JAC, but we can just "not renew" him and ask him to move on ASAP.
Either way, JAC won't be part of the team next year. It makes our team weaker, but I'm sure there are plans in play that we're not aware of.
So long JAC. Use an Uber next time.
This is the most logical account of the situation.
What if Addo-carr going now allowed the eels to sign (as an example) Burton to a multi year deal starting in 2027, would those against Addo-carr going early have a change of heart?.
Clearly this is all Rush , he knows keeping Josh harms Parramatta's reputation and would show the club has zero standards.
If you want business people to offer TPAs to your players then make sure your club is viewed as having a good culture, high standards and a zero policy for dickheads.
Good point Frankie Whether it's true or not we'll probs never know though that way of thinking works for me Got nothing against a good time just don't shit in your nest
