Over the last few days a number of free agents have been picked up by clubs for the 2026 season.
Ashton Golding was unattached after leaving Huddersfield Giants at the start of pre-season, but he has just agreed a deal with Castleford Tigers. Bayley Sironen has signed a deal with Queensland Cup outfit Wynnum Manly Seagulls and will be in action for NRL affiliate Brisbane Broncos this weekend in a second string friendly.
Tex Hoy has been picked up, too, with the full-back spotted training with Manley Sea Eagles during pre-season.
However, there are still a number of players looking for new clubs after being released by Super League clubs in the off-season. Here’s a look at the remaining seven.
Zac Bardsley-Rowe
After leaving Warrington Wolves without the offer of a new deal, Bardsley-Rowe is still looking for a new club. He has spent time on loan with Widnes Vikings, North Wales Crusaders and London Broncos over the last couple of years and that experience might stand him in good stead down the line.
Jack Darbyshire
The outside back was released by Leigh at the end of the 2025 campaign and isn’t thought to have landed a new gig just yet. He spent time on loan at Salford Red Devils last season, but he hasn’t joined up with the phoenix outfit.
Ethan Clark-Wood
The winger made just one outing for the Rhinos before being released at the end of the year. His hunt for a new opportunity in the sport goes on.
James Farrar
Farrar left York Knights without making an appearance after joining from Hull KR ahead of the campaign.
Nolan Tupaea
Tupaea was another to leave Warrington at the end of the season after making just one appearance in primrose and blue. He spent time on loan at Keighley Cougars and Halifax Panthers last season but hasn’t been picked up yet.
Jack Potter
Potter left York Knights at the end of the 2025 season after making just three appearances for the club. He hasn’t found a new professional deal but he did represent West Hull in the Challenge Cup earlier this season.
Alec Tuitavake
Derek Beaumont confirmed Tuitavake had left the club in a Facebook post over the off-season to return down under. He made 24 appearances and scored three tries for the club.
