The Warriors have granted halfback Shaun Johnson a release from the last year of his contract in 2019.

The release is effective immediately.

โ€œYesterday (head coach) Stephen Kearney, (recruitment manager) Peter Oโ€™Sullivan and I met with Shaun and his manager Peter Brown,โ€ Warriors CEO Cameron George said on the club website.

โ€œDuring the meeting Shaun clearly demonstrated to us that he didnโ€™t want to be at the club in 2019.

โ€œOn the basis of what Shaun told us, we are not going to compromise our culture on and off the field with people who do not wish to represent our club, members and fans in the way we expect.

โ€œEverything we do is about the club being first and whatโ€™s best for our future, our development and ultimately our results.

โ€œWhile itโ€™s disappointing it has come to this, we must acknowledge the contribution Shaun has made to the Vodafone Warriors. Weโ€™re proud of what he has achieved at the club and wish him the best for the future.โ€
