Josh Addo-Carr's time at Parramatta will officially extend into a second season after the club chose to active an option in their favour for 2026.

The flying winger joined the Eels after a relatively disappointing time at the Bulldogs but has returned to his try-scoring best in blue and gold, crossing for seven tries in nine games so far.

Parramatta football boss Mark O'Neill sung the 29-year-old's praises following the announcement.

“Josh has been a popular addition to our club. From day one, he has embraced the Parramatta community and brought a real spark to our group,” O'Neill said.

“The coaching staff have been impressed with his leadership on the field particularly with our younger players.

“His passion and personality have had a positive effect across the organisation, and we’re happy to have him with us for another season.”

Addo-Carr and the Eels currently sit in 15th place ahead of a clash with Penrith in round 13.
