THE NRMA Insurance Broncos have today agreed to release Ben Barba from his current playing contract with the club.

In consultation with Ben's management last week, the Broncos gave the player’s representative permission to seek an opportunity at another club.

The club has now agreed to a release from the final two years of his contract with the Broncos.

“The Broncos today give Ben Barba a release from the final two years of his contract,” said Broncos’ chief executive Paul White.

“We want to thank Ben for all the efforts he put in over the past year in what was a very long and tough season.

“From everyone at the club, we would like to wish him and his family all the very best for the future.”
