The confirmation of the talented teenager's release comes as the NRL are investigating the above footage of Galvin training with the Canterbury Bulldogs despite not yet being released, perย The Daily Telegraph.
It is understood that the five-eighth was not yet formally released when the footage of him training at Belmore appeared online.
While young Galvin has a ton of talent in his game, many have questioned the decision due to his positional clash with the likes of Matt Burton, Toby Sexton, and future star Mitchell Woods.
All questions are set to be answered within the coming weeks, with Galvin expected to make his Bulldogs debut against the Parramatta Eels in Round 14.
