The Bulldogs have announced the termination of Josh Addo-Carr's playing contract, effective immediately, after the star winger fronted the club's board on Thursday night.

Bulldogs chairman Adam Driussi says the decision was not made lightly and followed careful consideration by the board.

Driussi says Josh has been a significant part of their club over the past three seasons, and during this time, he has provided many memorable moments for their members and fans.

He says they understand Josh's popularity with their passionate supporter base, and they share their disappointment that his time with the club has ended this way.

The Chairman says however, this season has demonstrated the importance of building a culture based on clear standards and values.

He says while the NRL Integrity Unit has completed its investigation and imposed a four-match suspension, the club views the combination of the failed drug test and subsequent lack of transparency as serious breaches of Josh's contractual obligations and their club's standards.

Driussi says while they will always stand by their players through difficult times, they can only do this effectively when there is complete trust and transparency.
