“We’re very happy that has come to an end,” Addo-Carr’s lawyer Elias Tabchouri told CODE.
“I can’t credit the Parramatta Eels or the NRL more for the way this matter was addressed. We look forward to Josh having a stellar year with Eels.”
The 31-year-old is set to start next season on the left flank and will be hoping his play can earn an extension from the Eels.
