The Canberra Raiders have released Bill Tupou from the remainder of his 2015 contract, to take up a new deal in the English Super League.

Tupou was contracted until the end of 2015, but an offer from the Wakefield Trinity Wildcats saw him seek an early release from his contract.

Arriving at the club midway through the 2013 season, Tupou played 14 matches at NRL level for the Raiders.

The Raiders would like to wish Bill all the best for the future and the remainder of the season at Wakefield.
