Kane Evans has been released from the final year of his contract with the Warriors to take up an option in England.

The 29-year-old forward joined the Warriors ahead of the 2021 season but has been granted a release after mutual agreement.

The Warriors confirmed the news on Friday.

"By mutual agreement we’ve parted ways amicably to enable Kane to pursue opportunities in the Super League," Warriors recruitment manager Peter O’Sullivan said.

"We thank Kane for the contribution he has made this season and wish him all the best for his future in England."

Evans was facing a six-game ban to start the 2022 NRL season after he was charged for two separate incidents in the Warriors' final-round match against the Titans.

The enforcer's disciplinary record had become a concern for the club, with any charge compounded by the significant loading Evans carried.

Evans had been suspended for one-match in August after he lashed out at Will Chambers following a verbal barrage, while he was also fined $5,000 earlier in the season when cameras picked up a handwritten message on his wrist strapping: "Fold some c**t."

The move to England brings to an end a 130-game NRL career for the Fijian international.

After debuting with the Roosters in 2014, Evans played 74 games for the Tricolours before a 2018 move to Parramatta.

Evans has been linked with a possible move to Hull FC which would see him link up with Josh Reynolds, though his next move is yet to be confirmed.
