They call him The Foxx because once Josh Addo-Carr hits top speed, the chase is over. He is one of the fastest players in NRL history and one of the most prolific try-scorers the game has seen, a winger whose devastating acceleration turns half-chances into four-pointers with the regularity of a metronome. After departing the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs in 2024, Addo-Carr signed a two-year deal with the Parramatta Eels, bringing his electric try-scoring ability to Bankwest. His record in State of Origin and Tests for Australia — try after try after try scored on the biggest stages — further underscores his status as one of the elite wingers in the game’s modern history.
