Source: www.titans.com.auThe Jetstar Gold Coast Titans have granted requests to release rugby union bound duo Shannon Walker (Australian Rugby Sevens) and Joseph Tomane (ACT Brumbies) from their existing contracts with the club.
The Jetstar Titans have opted to grant both players an immediate release from the final month of their respective contracts in order to allow them to commence preparations for their code switches to rugby union.
Walker will join the Australian Sevens Squad for training this weekend while Tomane will join the Brumbies through one of their affiliate clubs, Uni Norths, this weekend.
Walker has played four NRL matches since making his debut for the Titans in 2008 while Tomane has played 14 NRL games since joining the club from the Melbourne Storm in 2010.
Jetstar Titans General Manager of Football Scott Clark said the club was pleased to be able to accommodate both players' wishes in providing an early release and wished them well for the future.
"Both Shannon and Joseph were approached to commence training early with their new teams or their affiliates so we didn't want to stand in their way,'' said Clark.
"Shannon was part of the Titans' inaugural NYC Under-20s squad in 2008 and if not for an unfortunate run of injuries, may have played a lot more first grade than he has.
"Since joining the club Joseph has shown how skilful he can be and we can appreciate his interest in wanting to return to rugby union, having come from a rugby background.
"We wish them both well with their new challenges.''
Walker said while he enjoyed his time at the Gold Coast based NRL club, the idea of playing Rugby Sevens for Australia was an opportunity too good to refuse.
"I really enjoyed my time at the Titans and I learnt a lot but when I looked at Sevens and looked at the opportunities it provides to tour the world and represent Australia at the Olympics I couldn't really turn down the idea," said Walker.
"The time was right for me to make a decision and I thank the Titans for their support and ARU and the Sevens coaching staff for showing faith in me and giving me an opportunity to prove I deserve a Gold jersey.
"I know there is a lot of hard work ahead, but I am looking forward to the challenge and hopefully realising the dream of securing that Gold jersey and hopefully in 2016 a Gold Medal."
Tomane, who played rugby at Nudgee College in Brisbane, said he was thankful for the Titans' understanding in allowing him to return to rugby union.
"It was a hard decision but I'm thankful for Carty (Coach John Cartwright) and the Titans for giving me an opportunity and also allowing me to leave early,'' said Tomane.
"It was hard to leave early but I had to do what's best for me. I'm now going to focus on getting my rugby career underway.''

Having impressed Jetstar Titans head coach John Cartwright during pre-season trial matches, the trio have been included in an extended 20-man squad for the clash.
Bird has been named at five-eighth in a new-look scrumbase combination with captain and halfback Scott Prince while 19-year-old Tomane has played himself into a spot in the centres with dual international Mat Rogers.
Former Newcastle and Sydney Roosters utility player Riley Brown has forced his way onto the interchange bench.
