Source: www.warriors.co.nzVodafone Warriors winger Denan Kemp is returning to Australia after asking the club for a release from the second year of his contract.
Kemp (22), signed from the Brisbane Broncos last year, thanked the club for supporting his request.
"I'm grateful the Vodafone Warriors have agreed to my request for a release from next year's contractual obligations," he said.
"While I haven't played as much NRL football as either the club or I would have liked, I have still enjoyed myself here.
"But in the end I really wanted the chance to go back home to try to establish myself."
Vodafone Warriors chief executive Wayne Scurrah said Kemp had been released with the club's best wishes.
"While we're disappointed Denan has asked for a release, we have reluctantly allowed him to go after only one year of his contract," he said.
"We wish the season had worked out differently but we thank him for his efforts both on and off the field during the time he has been with us and wish him luck for the future."
Kemp made 10 NRL appearances for the Vodafone Warriors, scoring a try and kicking 21 goals for a total of 46 points. His last match was against the Broncos on July 3.
He has also appeared for the Auckland Vulcans in the New South Wales Cup this season.

Source: www.warriors.co.nzKiwi prop Sam Rapira and winger Denan Kemp have both been recalled to join team-mate Jerome Ropati for his 100th first-grade appearance when the Warriors take on North Queensland in Sunday's 10th-round NRL encounter at Mt Smart Stadium.
A chest injury ruled 70-game front rower Rapira (22) out of the club's 11-12 loss to St George Illawarra in Wollongong as well as the Kiwis' Anzac Test against the Kangaroos in Brisbane last Friday night while Kemp (22) missed the game against the Dragons ahead of last weekend's bye round.
Rapira has been named to start in the front row against the Cowboys with Jesse Royal reverting to the interchange bench while Kemp returns on the right wing for Patrick Ah Van, who has been chosen as 18th man.
Other than those two changes, the starting line-up is the same that ran on against St George Illawarra with Nathan Fien at standoff and Joel Moon in his alternative position in the centres. Joining Royal on the bench are fellow prop Russell Packer, utility Lance Hohaia and second rower Ben Matulino.
The match will be a personal highlight for Ropati (24), who started his NRL career with a one-off outing in 2003. He'll become the 14th player - and the second this season after Nathan Fien - to reach the 100-game mark for the Vodafone Warriors. Also on the 100 list are two other members of this year's NRL squad - Stacey Jones (245) and Lance Hohaia (124).
"It's a sign of the stability we have in the club that more and more players are reaching these milestones," said coach Ivan Cleary.
"It's a real achievement for Jerome who has had some injury issues here and there which prevented him reaching the mark sooner. He's one of the game's nicest guys and it's great for him to be able to play his 100th at home in front of his family and friends."
The occasion will have an extra special touch for Ropati and his team-mates with the match falling in the NRL's now traditional heritage round. The Vodafone Warriors and North Queensland were pitted against each other in the equivalent round last year, due to the fact they're the remaining two clubs of the four introduced to the competition in 1995 (the other two were the now-defunct Western Reds and the South Queensland Crushers).
On Sunday the Vodafone Warriors will acknowledge the Auckland Rugby League's centenary year by playing in a one-off Canterbury of New Zealand design based on Auckland's traditional representative colours of blue and white. The special jersey is now on sale through www.warriors.co.nz and in retail outlets.
Rapira is set to return after missing his first match for the club since 2006. He had played 66 games on end before missing the one-point loss to the Dragons.
Winger Manu Vatuvei, who scored his 11th test try last Friday night, goes into the North Queensland game needing one more try to bring up his 50th for the club.
