Warriors forward Ben Murdoch-Masila has been granted an early contract release to sign with a new NRL club.
The 31-year-old Mate Ma'a Tonga international was off contract at the end of next season but his new club has not yet been announced.
Injuries have limited him to just 27 of 48 games for the Warriors in the past two seasons.
"While we were keen for Ben to remain with us for the full term of his contract we weren't in a position right now to offer a further contract," said Warriors CEO Cameron George.
"At the same time another club offered him alonger-term dealgiving him the security he was looking for."
After making 58 NRL appearances for Wests Tigers and Penrith from2010-2014, Auckland-born Masila-Murdoch spent five seasons in the Super League with Salford and Warrington before joining the Warriors in 2021.
