The Bulldogs have reportedly moved to terminate the contract of Josh Addo-Carr after issuing the star winger with a show cause notice to front the board next week.

The Sydney Morning Herald reported Addo-Carr faces the sack at a crunch board meeting next week over his drug scandal that saw him suspended for the club’s first final in eight years.

The 29-year-old was recently hit with a breach notice by the club after testing positive to cocaine during a roadside drugs test last month.

Addo-Carr will front the Bulldogs board on Thursday to show cause as to why he should not be sacked for allegedly misleading officials and bringing the club into disrepute.

Sources with knowledge of the situation talking on the condition of anonymity told the Herald the Bulldogs privately felt Addo-Carr’s actions 스포츠토토사이트 did not reflect the culture and standards they want their players to meet but were reluctant to terminate his deal immediately.

The Bulldogs gave Addo-Carr the opportunity to explore his options at rival clubs over the past six weeks out of respect for what he has contributed to the club.

However, Addo-Carr and his manager Mario Tartak have been unable to land a contract and the Bulldogs have reached a point where they believe they need to act.

The club are disappointed with Addo-Carr for disrupting the club’s preparations for their first final in eight years and hurting their chances of advancing further after he was suspended.
