Veteran prop one of six to leave Challenge Cup finalists
Prop forward Paul Jackson is to be released by Huddersfield with a return to former club Castleford on the cards.
The 30-year-old, who played in the 25-16 Challenge Cup final defeat to Warrington, is one of six players being let go by the Giants.
Also leaving are Australian Liam Fulton, who is expected to rejoin Wests Tigers, former Harlequins loose forward Joe Walsh and reserve players Richard Lopag, Tom Hemingway and Chris Lawson.
"Jacko has been a tremendous player for our club but he has an opportunity elsewhere that is the right one for him to accept," said managing director Richard Thewlis.
"Liam was always a short-term option for us after the Todd Carney deal fell away and he has been great to have around the team but he has unfulfilled ambitions in the NRL to pursue.
"It's sad in many ways yet the salary cap rules are designed to share talent around the game and stop stockpiling of quality by any one club and sometimes these situations mean that quality people have to move on."
Huddersfield will also lose hooker Scott Moore, who is returning to St Helens after his loan spell, but have signed Wakefield hooker Brad Drew, St Helens second rower Lee Gilmour and South Sydney forward David Fa'alogo and are expected to add Wakefield utility back Scott Grix to their list of newcomers.
