The Parramatta Eels are excited to announce the signing of dynamic winger Josh Addo-Carr for two years commencing from the 2025 season. The agreement includes an option in the Club’s favour for the 2026 season.
Addo-Carr, who previously worked with Parramatta’s Head Coach Jason Ryles at the Melbourne Storm, will bring significant speed, athleticism, and attacking flair to the Eels’ backline.
Head Coach Jason Ryles said he is confident that Addo-Carr’s skills, attitude, experience at the highest level of the game and premiership winning pedigree will complement the Eels’ vision moving forward.
“I’ve had the privilege of working with Josh before, and I know firsthand just how much he brings to a team—his speed is electric, and his ability to break open games is second to none. What’s even more important is his commitment. Josh is a player who has always been determined to improve and challenge himself, and I’m confident he will make the most of this opportunity with our Club,” said Ryles.
Addo-Carr reflected on the opportunity to work with Ryles again and bring his energy and experience to the Eels.
“I’m grateful for the opportunity Parramatta and Jason have given me to continue my footy career and I’m ready to repay the faith they’ve shown in me,” Addo-Carr said. “Coming here is a chance for me to start a new chapter, prove myself and show what I can do for the Club and the fans. I can’t wait to put on the Blue and Gold and become a part of this Club and the Eels community.”
Addo-Carr has been one of the NRL’s most prolific wingers, having scored over 100 tries in his career. A two-time NRL Premiership winner and having represented Australia and New South Wales on numerous occasions, Addo-Carr’s credentials are well-established and will be valuable for the Eels.

Wow finally done must admit i was getting anxious
Trust in Nash, Bobby......the pig has already grunted his approval to me.
Its very important we keep the big fella happy at this early stage.....he is preparing for both of us sometime shortly Bobby, but if I passed just think of all the disappointed people on here we would have. The celebrations would be bigger than a premiership LOL
Well i just don't know what to say after all that except i aint going no where i hope for awhile christ im only 78 . Want to see another Grand Final win before the toes point skiward 😳
Wow so its only a 1 year deal. And 2026 is an option in our favour. We'll done Ryles
Whilst he appears to be a complete dope from the things he's done, we need someone like him and the original was the only real option available.
Hope he can sort out his shit, play great footy and force the club to take up the option.
At least he seems grateful for the opportunity and by the sounds we haven't over committed. If he behaves himself and is a positive influence on his team mates this will be a good signing.
Smart contract. Nice on Eels.
Excellent deal for us.
Even I'm good with this - option in our favour! Fck Ryles must have done the deal himself! Let's hope Addo Carr has a point and more to prove and he does prove it.
It almost reads as if JAC begged the club to sign him. That puts us in a good position, and ensures he stays hungry for success and redemption.
