Latest News About Josh Addo-Carr

Here’s the latest on Josh Addo-Carr based on the most recent widely reported developments up to 2024–2025, with a note on the status as of 2026.

Direct answer

• The most widely reported events concern his status with the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs in 2024, when he faced a positive roadside drug test for cocaine, which led to him standing down and ultimately being sacked by the Bulldogs later that year. Subsequent reporting through 2025-2026 indicates a period of personal and professional upheaval, with him not being with the Bulldogs afterward and various outlets noting his later association with other clubs or positions, depending on the outlet. Given the fragmented nature of coverage, the exact current team as of 2026 is inconsistent across sources.

Background and timeline (key events)

• September 2024: Reports emerged that Addo-Carr tested positive for cocaine after a roadside test and later faced a second confirmatory test; he stood himself down from an elimination final as the investigation progressed. This period marked a major disruption to his playing career with Canterbury.[1][2][3]
• October 2024: Canterbury issued a show-cause notice and later sacked Addo-Carr for breaches of contract and lack of transparency during the process. This effectively ended his tenure with the Bulldogs at that time.[2][4][10]
• Late 2024 to 2025: Various media accounts documented his exit from the Bulldogs and attempted to chart his next steps, including talk of potential moves or trials with other clubs; however, reports differed in specifics and timelines.[3][4][10]
• 2025–2026: If you’re looking for the precise current club or status, different outlets have given conflicting or outdated snapshots. Some outlets circulated updates about his status as a free agent or transitioning to non-playing roles, but there isn’t a single, universally agreed source confirming his position at any one NRL club in 2026 across all outlets you’d typically consult.
