THE NRL career of Canterbury player Jacob Loko is all but over after he was arrested in possession of ecstasy alongside a man police will allege is a drug dealer.

A police spokeswoman said officers arrested Loko, 23, at The Star casino at 6am on Saturday and allegedly found him carrying a small amount of MDMA.

He was spoken to by police but was released without being charged however the police investigation is continuing.

Another man, 22, was also arrested and charged with supplying ecstasy.

The 22-year-old was taken to Day Street Police Station and given police bail to appear in Downing Centre Local Court on October 21.

It is understood that Loko may still be charged and that police are still reviewing CCTV footage.

Bulldogs CEO Raelene Castle said “we are aware of an incident and we’re seeking further information”.

The club has since released the following statement and confirmed that the NRL integrity unit have been made aware of the incident

“Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs player Jacob Loko has been investigated by police in relation to possession of the drug ecstasy, a brief media release stated,

“The NRL Integrity Unit have been notified and the club will continue to investigate the issue alongside police.

“Whilst contracted to the club until the end of the month, Loko has been told he would not have his contract renewed for 2016.

“The club will not make any further comment until the investigation is complete.

The Bulldogs made the call last month not to resign Loko for next season.

Given his chequered past, it is to be seen whether any other club will take the risk on signing him.

In February he pleaded guilty to high range drink driving at Manly Local Court after returning a blood alcohol reading almost four times over the legal limit.

He was hit with a four match ban and fined $10,000 after getting into a drunken brawl with Manly winger George Taufua outside a Sydney bar in May.
