Leigh Centurions can confirm that they have reached a compromise agreement with Mathias Pala who will now leave the Club and become a free agent.
The French international joined the Club midway through last season for a nominal fee from Catalans Dragons and made five first-team appearances in 2015, earning Heritage Number 1399.
The decision was reached after he met with Head Coach Neil Jukes.
Leigh Centurions Owner Derek Beaumont said: "It is always difficult talking to players with a view to them leaving the Club and it something I have had to do on a couple of occasions recently. It is the part of the job I least enjoy.
"As a Club we believe in being honest with individuals and always act in their best interests. Neil has spoken to Mathias and outlined that he feels his opportunities will be limited.
"Mathias has his wife and young son with him and they are expecting their second child so it would be inappropriate to keep him over here in these circumstances.
"Mathias goes with the best wishes of everyone connected with the Club.
"It is a shame we have not seen more of him and he has struggled with injuries during his time with us. It has been great to have him around the Club and he has certainly contributed to the fun environment we try to create and has been a very popular member of the squad."

Still have Worthington / Armstrong / Tonga first choice. Maitua / Higson / Smith available to cover too. With all due respect to Mathias, I think we have adequate options.

Good luck to the lad, I’m a little surprised at the timing as we seem a little short in the centres at the moment but we never really got a chance to see what he had to offer, which says the coaches see him as being further down the pecking order than the others.

nEver fit and we still had to pay him, good luck to the lad and right call from the club

Mcnally is out that doesn't allow smith to cover 3 of your choice POW are also injured.I would say we don't have adequate players for that position at the moment nevermind cover.
Good luck Pala hopefully you can find somewhere that you feel more settled with.

Pala is also injured, so that wouldn't change a thing.

It would if we are making way for another.

Very true Atomic, I've heard Degsy is talking to Jamie Lyon. and Anthony Gelling was seen at the LSV yesterday.

A shame to see him go, thought what little we saw of him at the end of last season he looked very good. Still I suppose that's the thing this year everyone is very good. Best of luck to him, sure he'll find somewhere quickly once he's got over his injury.

I've seen the queens muff.
