- Josh Addo-Carr attends his beloved grandmother’s funeral
- Footy star was suspended by the Bulldogs last week
NRL star Josh Addo-Carr announced the sad death of his beloved grandmother in a heartfelt Instagram post on Tuesday, less than a week after the speedster was sacked by the Bulldogs.
Addo-Carr’s three-year spell with the Bulldogs ended last week after the winger tested positive for cocaine following a roadside drug test in September, withdrawing from the club’s first finals match in eight years.
The talented winger plans to keep his football career alive, but this week he was hit by the heartbreaking death of his grandmother, Kathleen.
Addo-Carr posted several clips from the funeral on social media, including one of him holding a booklet with a photo of his grandmother.
“Nan,” he posted alongside a love heart emoji.
In another post, the controversial footy star filmed his son placing flowers at her grave.
Addo-Carr lost his famous grandfather Wally Carr in 2019, with the boxing legend losing his battle with cancer while Addo-Carr was playing with the Storm.
The footballer has been linked with the Dragons or a return to the Wests Tigers.
