Australian hooker Heath L’Estrange has been granted an early release from his Bradford Bulls contract.
The 28-year-old captained the West Yorkshire outfit and scored eight tries in 99 appearances. He asked to cancel his contract in order to raise his newborn daughter in his home country.
“I have had an absolutely amazing time with the Bulls and I have played alongside some fantastic players,” he said.
“I have made lifelong friends and I was honoured to be named captain before the 2012 season.
“But I am part of a very close-knit family and we wish to bring up our daughter in Australia, around those closest to us.”
