Addo-Carr free to leave Eels as club rejects extension opportunity
Parramatta decides not to extend Josh Addo-Carr's contract beyond next season, leaving him free to join a new team immediately if he chooses to do so.
Josh Addo-Carr is free to leave the Parramatta Eels immediately, following the club's decision not to offer him a contract extension. The 31-year-old forward has one year left on his current deal, which expires at the end of 2027. The Eels have informed Addo-Carr and his management that they will not stand in his way if he secures a new contract with a rival club.
Despite a random drugs test in October, the NRL integrity unit cleared Addo-Carr to return to the team after his B sample came back negative. The Eels will keep the door open for Addo-Carr to complete his 2027 contract, but will not prevent him from joining another club. Addo-Carr is expected to return to pre-season training with the Eels next week as his representatives seek a new contract elsewhere.
