Chris Clarkson and Willie Isa will leave Widnes at the end of the season after the second row forwards rejected the club’s offer of new deals.
Clarkson, 25, has spent the 2015 season on loan from Leeds and, although he remains contracted to the Rhinos, has been linked with a move to Hull KR for next year.
Isa, 26, who played in the NRL with Penrith and Melbourne, is in his fourth season with Widnes after starting his Super League career with Castleford.
Widnes chief executive James Rule said: "Earlier this season as part of our recruitment and retention policy we offered both Chris and Willie enhanced two-year contracts for the 2016 and 2017 seasons.
"They both chose to reject those offers and as a result will leave the Vikings at the end of the season.
"On behalf of my fellow directors, the coaching staff, players and supporters, I'd like to thank both players for their dedication to the Vikings cause both on and off the field of play. We wish them both the best of luck in their future endeavours."
