COUGARS have released Nathan Kitson from his contract.

Keighley agreed to terminate his deal, which ran until 2018, after he informed head coach Craig Lingard he could no longer commit to training due to work commitments.

The utility player joined the club ahead of this season from Oxford RL and made two appearances.

A clause has been inserted into the terms of the release that Kitson cannot play for another League One club during the 2017 season.
