Trent Waterhouse is to leave Warrington at the end of the season and is expected to retire from rugby league.
The 33-year-old Australian has made 78 appearances for the Wolves since joining from Penrith Panthers three years ago and was a member of their Challenge Cup-winning team in 2012.
The second-row forward has also won two caps for the Kangaroos and is one of a number of players departing the club when the current campaign ends.
We've all built up a great relationship and anybody who has been part of the Warrington family will always be welcomed back.
Winger Chris Riley, along with fringe players Jordan Burke, Danny Bridge, James Saltonstall and Gavin Bennion, are also departing the Super League team.
Warrington-born Riley has made just one appearance for his home-town club this campaign and has spent much of the season on loan at Wakefield Wildcats.
Six members of the backroom staff also wave goodbye to the Halliwell Jones Stadium, including coaches Willie Poching and Richard Marshall.
Warrington's head of coaching Tony Smith said: "All of these players and coaches have been a pleasure to work with over their time at the club and have contributed to our continuing success.
"We've all built up a great relationship and anybody who has been part of the Warrington family will always be welcomed back.
“We wish them all well and look forward to our paths crossing in the future."
Regarding Waterhouse, Smith said he would have his support if he decides to continue his career elsewhere: "If he wants to keep playing, that's good, I don't retire anybody.
"He understood why I couldn't renew his contract but, if he wants to keep playing, I'll support him every step of the way."
