Josh Addo-Carr Parramatta Eels drug test case closed, Digi Mart USA News: Josh Addo-Carr has been cleared by the NRL integrity unit to return to the Parramatta Eels and is set to be back at training with the club next week.
The winger escaped punishment after failing a roadside drug test, and his NRL career was saved after his B sample came back negative. The Eels had seriously considered ripping up his contract.
Instead, the flyer will fulfil the rest of his current deal, which ends at the conclusion of the 2027 season. Addo-Carr was dumped by the Bulldogs two seasons ago after testing positive during a roadside drug test.
According to CODE Sports, the NRL considers this most recent matter closed, with Addo-Carr cleared of any wrongdoing. His lawyer, Elias Tabchouri, told CODE: “We’re very happy that has come to an end.”
“I can’t credit the Parramatta Eels or the NRL more for the way this matter was addressed. We look forward to Josh having a stellar year with Eels,” Tabchouri said.
The 31-year-old is set to start next season on the left flank and will be hoping his play can earn an extension from the Eels.
