The Sharks have granted Royce Hunt's request for a release from the final season of his contract in 2025 to take up a multi-year opportunity at another NRL club.
Hunt, 29, has played 71 NRL matches for Cronulla since 2020.
The prop remains an important member of the squad ahead of this year's finals series and is committed to finishing his time at the Sharks on a high.
The Sharks thank Royce for his services over the past five seasons and wish him, his wife Shavaun and son Wolfy all the best in the future.
