The Story in 60 Seconds

Josh Addo-Carr has been cleared by the NRL integrity unit to return to the Parramatta Eels and is set to resume training next week. The winger avoided disciplinary action after his B sample returned a negative result following a failed roadside drug test, leading the NRL to close the matter.

The Eels had reportedly considered terminating Addo-Carr's contract over the incident. Instead, the 31-year-old will see out the remainder of his deal through the end of the 2027 season and is expected to start on the left flank next year.
