The Gold Coast Titans have made the decision to release Ken Maumalo from his contract, allowing him to explore new opportunities after struggling to find game time in the NRL.
Maumalo, who was named the Dally M Winger of the Year in 2019, saw his career take a downward spiral after leaving the New Zealand Warriors in 2021 for the Wests Tigers.
Despite having played over 100 NRL games for the Warriors, Maumalo struggled to secure a spot in the Tigers' first-grade side, playing only 29 games in two seasons.
Upon joining the Titans at the beginning of 2023, Maumalo has not played an NRL match for over 24 months, leading to the mutual decision for his release.
The club confirmed the news in a statement, indicating that Maumalo has been granted a release from the remainder of his contract.
The move allows Maumalo to explore new opportunities and find a team where he can potentially regain his form and secure regular playing time.
This decision marks the end of Maumalo's disappointing stint with the Titans, where he was unable to make an impact on the field.
The mutual release provides Maumalo with a fresh start and the chance to revitalize his career in a new environment.
Despite his struggles in recent years, Maumalo's talent and past success as the Dally M Winger of the Year in 2019 suggest that he may still have the potential to make a significant contribution to a new team in the NRL.
Moving forward, Maumalo will be looking to showcase his skills and earn a spot in a team where he can make a positive impact on the field.
The release from the Titans opens up new possibilities for Maumalo and allows him to pursue opportunities that align with his goals and aspirations in the NRL.
