Simon Grix will be released from his contract at the end of the season, but will remain with Warrington Wolves as part of the performance team.
Grix, 29, made his Wolves debut back in 2006 and has made 179 appearances for the club, scoring 48 tries.
A fractured ankle sustained against St Helens last September has kept him sidelined for the entire 2015 campaign, and his rehabilitation continues.
He said: “I’m really sad to be leaving the Wolves’ playing squad after what has been a fantastic 10 years.
“I’d like to say a wholehearted thank you to all the staff and players I have shared my time with.
“Unfortunately my injury situation has cut my time at Warrington short, but I now look forward to another challenge and move on knowing no stone has been unturned in my recovery which is getting closer.
“I intend to play on and will consider my options in due course. I will still be part of the club as part of the performance team and will celebrate my testimonial with the club next year. I’m made up the RFL have granted me this.
“I’ve got a good bunch of people putting things together for next year which, with the help of the fans, will add to our heritage year.
“Finally a thank you to the supporters. You’ve been great through the good times and better through my tough times. 2016 is shaping up to be a good year, stick with the boys they’ll come good.”
Head of coaching and rugby Tony Smith said: “I feel for Simon. It’s been a frustrating 12 months for him.
“It’s unfortunate that his current playing situation has come to an end with Warrington but he has given it his all both on the field and off the field.
“He’s been a thorough professional through the whole time that I have coached him. It has been a great honour to coach someone of his calibre – as a player and a person.
“I look forward to working with him in a different capacity with his wholehearted commitment to the Wolves.
“He’ll go on to have a fulfilled career in coaching or conditioning as his future unfolds.
“I also wish him well for his recovery from injury and hope he can fulfil his desire to continue to play.”
