KEIGHLEY Cougars announced Eddy Pettybourne is to depart the club.
Eddy plans to retire from professional rugby league and return home with his family to Australia.
As a result, the club has agreed to Eddy’s request of a release from the remainder of his contract at Cougar Park.
Joining the Cougars midway through the 2022 season from Limoux in France, the American international prop debuted in a home victory against Oldham in late June.
From there, the forward would make a further three appearances for the club but injury brought a premature end to the season for Pettybourne.
