Josh Addo-Carr's time with the Bulldogs has come to a swift and tumultuous end, with the star winger given his marching orders and now on the lookout for a new team to call home.
The decision was made after a board meeting where the club deemed that Addo-Carr had committed serious breaches of his contractual obligations.
The drama unfolded after Addo-Carr tested positive for cocaine following a roadside drug test back in September, forcing him to sideline himself for the club's crucial finals match against Manly.
The loss ultimately sealed the Bulldogs' fate in their first finals appearance in eight years.
Addo-Carr had initially provided the club with his version of events, leading them to support him.
However, it was later revealed that some of the details were inaccurate, leaving officials fuming.
Despite Addo-Carr's insistence that he had not knowingly taken any drugs, the NRL issued him a breach notice and the Bulldogs made the decision to cut ties with the prolific try-scorer.
With his contract terminated, Addo-Carr is now a hot commodity on the player market, with the Eels and Dragons rumored to be interested in securing his services for the upcoming season.
It's safe to say that Addo-Carr will have no shortage of suitors vying for his signature.
In a statement released by the Bulldogs, they announced the termination of Addo-Carr's contract, emphasizing that the decision was not taken lightly and was the result of careful deliberation by the board.
As Addo-Carr bids farewell to the Bulldogs, the future holds new opportunities and challenges for the talented winger in the world of Rugby League.
