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.

Zion isn't faster than the Fox lol.
That's why nobody listens to anything you say .
No I don't think thats how it went down. If thus incident didn't happen i highly doubt Josh would be told he wouldn't be re signed
I disagree, i think the plan would have been to move on anyway. Now could there be a case where maybe they consider a one year extension and this incident led to them making up their mind? Sure but i think it was a slim chance JAC was going to be at Parramatta in 2028.
Cap wise and building rosters, including having some decent young Wingers turning 20 in 2028, it makes sense we are fine moving on from JAC in 2028, speed or not, age wise it makes sense to move on from a player turning 33 in mid 2028 and try and get younger. Would i prefer JAC stays in 2028? More so yes due to limited Wingers available but it makes sense.
I think that's the case 2028 was always the year we make a step up. Next year unfortunately could be more of the same as in 2025/26, which will no doubt start the protesters. The reality is that the development pipeline is still in early stages and not yet producing NRL-ready players in every position. The club are looking at 2028 for that to be more mature.
💯 I think there were admissions. I'm not happy BUT things need to change and this is a step in the right direction.
From what I heard he was told to go to rehab, if B sample was positive it would have been hard to sack him. But this makes no sense, yes I didn't think they would resigned him after 2027, but to release him now just stupid. They can't sign Best or any other outside back. Yet they release a handy player to play against you. wtf!
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.
his free to leave coz our backs are knocking the door down. we let lomax walk instead of sticking staunch, now letting the fox walk with no names in line. lol
