Dogs sack Addo Carr

Statement from Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs Chairman Adam Driussi regarding Josh Addo-Carr contract termination.

The Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs Football Club today announces the termination of Josh Addo-Carr's playing contract, effective immediately. This decision was not made lightly and follows careful consideration by the Board.

Josh has been a significant part of our Club over the past three seasons. During this time, he has provided many memorable moments for our Members and fans. We understand Josh's popularity with our passionate supporter base, and we share their disappointment that his time with the Club has ended this way.

However, this season has demonstrated the importance of building a culture based on clear standards and values. While the NRL Integrity Unit has completed its investigation and imposed a four-match suspension, the Club views the combination of the failed drug test and subsequent lack of transparency as serious breaches of Josh's contractual obligations and our Club's standards.

Supporting our players remains a fundamental priority for our Club, with comprehensive welfare programs that go well beyond just football. While we will always stand by our players through difficult times, we can only do this effectively when there is complete trust and transparency.

We wish Josh and his family well for the future. Our welfare team remains available to Josh and his family during this transition. 

The Club will not be making any further comment on this matter at this time.
