New Zealand Warriors forward Ben Murdoch-Masila has been granted a release by the club to continue his career elsewhere, the club announced today.
His new destination has not been revealed.
The 31-year-old Mate Ma’a Tonga international was off contract at the end of 2023, the third and final year of
his deal since joining the club from the Super League.
Injuries have limited him to 27 of a possible 48 matches in the last two seasons, 16 in 2021 and 11 this year.
“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 beyond this,” said New Zealand Warriors CEO Cameron George.
