MATT DUFTY has left Warrington Wolves by mutual consent to return to his native Australia.

Dufty made 88 appearances for the Cheshire club, scoring 47 tries in three-and-a-half years but he has now been released from the final year of his Warrington contract.

After leaving the club, the 29-year-old said: “I’d like to thank all the players, staff, the board and especially the fans for making Warrington my home for the last three and a half years.

“Me and my partner have absolutely loved our time here, with so many amazing memories on and off the field. I wish the team all the best for this season.”
