Here’s the latest I can share based on recent public reporting.
- Josh Addo-Carr was at the center of a drug-related controversy in 2024, with reports that he tested positive for cocaine on a roadside test and faced ongoing scrutiny and potential disciplinary action from his club and the NRL during that period [source coverage around 2024-10-24 and earlier updates].[2][3][5]
- In late 2024 and into 2025, there were ongoing developments about his status with the Canterbury Bulldogs and questions about his contractual future after the incident, including show-cause considerations and board reviews.[3][4]
- By 2026, some outlets list him as a player for the Parramatta Eels, with career summaries indicating transitions between clubs and ongoing coverage of his status and performance, though exact current circumstances can vary by source.[9][10]
If you’d like, I can pull in the most up-to-date, verifiable sources and provide a concise timeline with links. I can also summarize what the latest headlines say about his club affiliation and any disciplinary outcomes.
