Matt Lodge's tenure as a member of the Warriors has come to an end, with the club releasing the 26-year-old prop from his contract with immediate effect.
Lodge joined the Warriors midway through the 2021 season from the Brisbane Broncos, and was in the final year of his current contract.
The club had talks with the Australian enforcer ahead of the 2022 campaign about a contract extension, but Lodge said he wasn't in a position to commit to the club on a long-term basis.
The Warriors will be returning to New Zealand on a permanent basis next year, and Lodge confirmed that was a factor in the decision for the two parties to part ways.
