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.

Josh's lawyer saying that Josh entered a rehabilitation clinic immediately after the positive a test for other reasons other than drug use doesn't cut the mustard, lets face it.
Its like saying a person who doesn't drink, blows over the limit, but tells the officer he never drinks, but then enters an Alcoholics Anonymous clinic for other reasons other than drinking.
This surely doesn't pass the pub test
Can't disagree with anything said. I wouldn't want us signing a 32 going on 33 year owing for 28 coming off a poor 26 season. From JACs side a 2-3 year deal will be easier to get at 31 than a 1-2 year deal at 32.
