The off-contract forward will leave after a career which has seen the 28-year-old represent the Warriors for nine seasons in the NRL.

“We’re grateful for all Jazz has done for the Warriors. We have appreciated his efforts during his time with us and wish him and his family all the best for the future,” said Warriors general manager recruitment, pathways and development Andrew McFadden.

Tevaga, who made his NRL debut in 2016, has been named to play his 134th match in Friday night’s round 22 encounter with Parramatta at Go Media Mt Smart Stadium. It will be his 15th appearance this season, all off the interchange, in which he has scored one try and averaged 89 run metres a game.

A Papakura Sea Eagles junior, he played 45 times in the NYC under-20 competition in 2014 and 2015 and has made 35 New South Wales Cup appearances since 2015.
