The Parramatta Eels have just secured a massive victory off the field — star winger Josh Addo-Carr has officially committed his long-term future to the club, signing a €9.2 million deal that will keep “The Foxx” in blue and gold for years to come.
After weeks of speculation and growing buzz around potential suitors, Addo-Carr silenced the rumors with a simple but powerful declaration: “This club is family. I’m staying home — and I’m here to bring a Premiership to Parramatta.”
The announcement sparked jubilation across Western Sydney, with fans flooding social media under the tag #ThisIsParra, celebrating what many are calling one of the most defining moments in the Eels’ modern era.
Addo-Carr’s impact since joining the club has been electric — both on and off the field. Known for his explosive speed, infectious personality, and ability to change games in an instant, he’s become a cornerstone of Parramatta’s identity and culture. Whether it’s inspiring younger players or igniting the crowd with a length-of-the-field try, The Foxx has embodied what it means to wear the blue and gold.
Club officials confirmed that the €9.2 million contract will span multiple seasons, making it one of the most lucrative deals in Eels history — and a testament to their faith in Addo-Carr as both a leader and ambassador.
Eels CEO Jim Sarantinos hailed the signing as a “massive win for the club’s future,” saying, “Josh is more than a player — he’s an energy source. His passion, his professionalism, and his connection with our fans are unmatched. Keeping him here long-term is a reflection of who we are as a club.”
Teammates, including captain Clint Gutherson and playmaker Mitch Moses, were quick to celebrate the news, calling Addo-Carr’s decision a sign of the Eels’ growing unity and ambition. “You can’t teach what Josh brings,” Gutherson said. “He’s a spark plug, a leader, and a bloke everyone loves to play with.”
The deal also sends a strong message to the rest of the NRL — Parramatta isn’t just building for the present; they’re investing in sustained success. The Eels’ roster is shaping into a powerhouse blend of experience, youth, and star power, and with Addo-Carr locked in long-term, the club’s pursuit of that elusive Premiership is more alive than ever.
For Addo-Carr, the motivation is simple — loyalty and unfinished business. “Parra believed in me from day one,” he said. “This is where I want to make history. The fans, the boys, the community — it’s all love. Now it’s time to deliver.”
As the Eels prepare for the 2026 campaign, one thing is certain: the Foxx is flying nowhere. He’s home — and he’s on a mission.
This is loyalty. This is passion. This is Parra. 💙💛
