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.

Wow. So Josh may have played his last game here and if he finds an opportunity elsewhere, there's no doubt he will be immediately released.
There's no doubt Josh would have been immediately sacked if the b sample was positive, and now it seems there's a lot more to this story behind the scenes.
There's absolutely no doubt there's more to this.
There has to be another player who is coming and plans may have been around Josh's b sample.
Wise Kativerata has returned
George Jennings
This is a bad decision by the club.
If it's negative you have to go by that last sample. He can't be judged on that, I think it's a bad decision, losing Lomax was a mistake, this one just as big.
Nobody knows what was said behind closed doors. Maybe there were admissions. Why else would Parramatta take this stance.
Also, the rehabilitation admission seemed a little strange.
Well it could be anything but i think regardless of him going through an investigation or not, JAC was slim chance of being at Parramatta come 2028. Age wise it makes sense to move on. I think Ryles and Parra were fine with him staying in 2027, but once he said, which he is entitled to, he wanted to look elsewhere for a long term deal, it seems its either you want to be here or not. Granted it seems hypocritical in other areas.
We could have someone lined up other than Schiller.
I would back JAC to be the fastest in our club over the next 3 years, regardless of his age.....
Incredible: in 2 years, lost NSW wingers (Lomax and Fox) to rely on Alameddine, Jake Tago or Arthur Miller-Stephen.
GOD HELP US
Tago and Miller-Stephen aren't even at the club anymore.
