Josh Addo-Carr has been told he won’t be re-signed by the Eels beyond 2027 and is free to leave immediately if he finds a new club.
Parramatta will keep the door ajar for Addo-Carr to see out his 2027 contract, but won’t stand in his way if he secures a new contract next season with a rival franchise.
The 31-year-old is due back to pre-season training with the Eels next week, pending how quickly his manager can secure interest from any rival clubs.
The decision by the Eels has been made in the wake of Addo-Carr being cleared to return to the Eels by the NRL integrity unit.
Addo-Carr recently met with head coach Jason Ryles. Their strong bond allowed the discussion to move forward by agreeing to let the talented winger secure his long-term future at a rival club.
The winger escaped punishment after failing a roadside drug test but his NRL career was saved when his B sample came back negative.
The former Test and NSW State of Origin winger has proven a prolific tryscorer and an influential mentor off the field with his powerful community work.
The Eels depth in their outside backs will be stretched if Addo-Carr finds a new club next season, however Parramatta has added Knights winger James Schiller to their roster for next season.

I hope he stays for 2027 and who knows, could change their minds if he has a blinder
huh ?
Must mean best is on the way lol
This doesn't have any effect on Best at all. If Best does come it will be for 2028
If ado carr wants an extension guess who that money is going to 😂
Fox outside Best>value
Best plays Centre, has nothing to do with it.
Reading between the lines ado Carr not in eels plans for 2028.
Best plays centre, wow thats news! Chuckle. My statement of Fox thinking Best could be released early to join us for '27 could persuade him to stay and form a deadly combo with "that centre.' If Best isn't allowed to come to us early then all bets are off. That okay?
What?!!! Why?
