NRL star Josh Addo-Carr has announced the sad death of his beloved nan in a heartfelt post on Instagram on Tuesday, less than a week after the speedster was sacked by the Bulldogs.
Addo-Carr’s three-year stint with the Bulldogs ended last week after the winger tested positive to cocaine following a roadside drug test in September that saw him stand himself down for the club’s first finals match in eight years.
The talented winger is intent on keeping his footy career alive, but this week has been hit with the heartbreaking death of his nan, Kathleen.
Addo-Carr posted several clips to social media from the funeral, including one where he is holding a booklet with a photo of his grandmother.
‘Nan’, he posted alongside an emoji of a love heart.
In another post, the embattled footy star videoed his son placing flowers at her graveside.
Addo-Carr lost his famous granddad 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 to the Dragons or a return to the Wests Tigers.
Meanwhile, Addo-Carr has been getting up for boxing training at 5am with iconic Aussie trainer Johnny Lewis before joining ex-pug Garth Wood on the tools as a landscaper.
‘I’ve got a point to prove. I want to show people I’m not done,’ Addo-Carr told News Corp.
‘I’ve been doing some boxing sessions with Johnny Lewis for the past week at Erskineville.
‘In the last few days, Garth asked me if I wanted to do some work.
‘He was a boxer and he knows what it’s like to be in touch with reality working every day.
‘It’s certainly been a reality check.
