"We would like to thank Konrad for his contribution since coming into our development system. He has been a popular member of the club and we wish him all the best for the future."
Hurrell said he had mixed emotions at first about leaving the Warriors but was now excited as he looked forward to the rest of his career.
"I will always be thankful to the Warriors for all they have done for me and the way they have helped me develop as a rugby league player," he said.
"I'm grateful to all the boys I have played alongside, all the people at the club and also the members and fans."
The Herald on Sunday revealed 11 days ago that Hurrell's days with the Warriors were numbered after issues on and off the field. The club have lost patience with the 24-year-old, despite the Tongan international being contracted through until the end of 2018, and were prepared to pay part of his wages if another club came in for him.
Hurrell is understood to have been unhappy at being punished for his involvement in accompanying five team-mates on an unsanctioned late night out in Auckland.
Hurrell was the only player who did not admit to taking prescription pills and energy drinks but, along with the rest of the group, was stood down from test selection heading into last week's internationals. He was then embroiled in further controversy after sending an ill-timed retweet that added fuel to speculation coach Andrew McFadden had lost the support of his players.
McFadden was frustrated by Hurrell's actions and immediately questioned if Hurrell had a future at the club. Recently he said he had no issue with Hurrell but that "we need to make decisions that are best for the organisation".
Despite media consistently reporting Hurrell did not admit to any drug taking, his management were eager for the club to clear his name of any wrongdoing with a clean character reference potentially assisting his attempts to find another club before the NRL's June 30 player transfer deadline.
His exit comes as a great disappointment for Warriors fans, with Hurrell earning cult status among the Mt Smart Stadium faithful due to his natural ability as one of the NRL's most damaging ball-carriers.
But he has struggled for consistency, particularly on defence, and he was also forced to adjust his running style after kneeing incidents involving Cronulla's Anthony Tupou and Manly's Jake Trbojevic.
Hurrell made three NRL appearances off the bench this year, the last of them against Manly on April 3.
