Panthers Legend Cleary Shocks Club with Contract Termination
Penrith Panthers were left reeling on Sunday as their star halfback, Nathan Cleary, announced his sudden departure from the club. Cleary, a Panthers legend and a key figure in their recent premiership success, has terminated his contract, leaving the club and fans stunned.
The news comes as a major blow to the Panthers, who were hoping to build on their 2021 premiership triumph. Cleary’s decision to leave is unexpected, and his reasons for doing so remain unclear.
Coach Ivan Cleary, Nathan’s father, has expressed his disappointment at the news. “We’re all shocked and saddened by Nathan’s decision,” Ivan said. “He’s been a fantastic player for this club for many years, and we’ll miss him greatly.”
The Panthers will now need to find a suitable replacement for Cleary. It remains to be seen who will fill the void left by the departing star.
