Parramatta has granted a release to Kieran Foran from the remainder of his $5 million contract, capping a turbulent year for the star playmaker.

In a statement on Friday afternoon, the club said it had granted Foran the release and wished him well for the future.

Earlier this month Foran's management confirmed he would walk away from the game to go on "indefinite leave".

Foran had been granted leave in April to enter rehabilitation following the breakdown of his relationship with his long-term partner Rebecca Pope — the mother of his two children.

More recently, Foran was stripped of the Eels captaincy and reportedly fined $5,000 in June for failing to fulfil his club duties.

Foran joined the club from Manly, but his high profile move did go to plan, with the star New Zealand pivot managing just nine games due to a season-ending shoulder injury and his personal issues.

He has also had to deal with reported legal action against his old club Manly in a stoush over almost $150,000 in third-party payments.
