In an unexpected and electrifying turn of events, Josh Addo-Carr has made a stunning announcement that has rocked the NRL world: the speedster will cancel his deal with the Parramatta Eels and instead commit to remaining with the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs for the remainder of his career. The news has sent shockwaves through the rugby league community, especially among Bulldogs supporters who are overjoyed by the prospect of Addo-Carr finishing his career at the club.
The 28-year-old winger, known for his blistering pace and match-winning tries, was widely expected to make the switch to the Eels after months of speculation regarding his future. However, in a dramatic and emotional announcement made earlier today, Addo-Carr revealed that he had decided to stay with the Bulldogs, the club where he became a household name, and will now finish his NRL career in the blue and white.
