Despite reports earlier this month Josh Addo-Carr was poised to stay at Melbourne for another season following the club's grand final win, the Storm flyer was spotted at Belmore on Tuesday afternoon.
Addo-Carr took a tour of Canterbury's facilities part of the Storm star's search for a new Sydney club for the 2022 season.
The Sydney Morning Herald obtained exclusive photos of Addo-Carr arriving at Belmore Sports Ground for a meeting with Canterbury officials.

The club had a chance to sell their vision to the star with Addo-Carr seen taking it all in with his manager Mario Tartak. The Bulldogs believe Addo-Carr can be their fullback for the coming years and see him as a marquee signing.
Addo-Carr tried to negotiate a release for next season due to family reasons but the Storm wanted a player in return with the Wests Tigers unable to find a suitable swap deal that would entice the 2020 premiers.
Addo-Carr had signed a heads of agreement to join the Tigers on a four-year deal had he gained an immediate release. However, that arrangement only applied if he was available for next season, so he can still field offers from other clubs.
