The Panthers confirmed Crichton’s departure by way of a press release on Monday.
“Penrith Panthers can confirm that the club was notified overnight by Stephen Crichton’s management group that he will be seeking opportunities elsewhere in 2024,” the assertion learn.
“Contrary to media reports, the club made a substantial offer in May 2022 for Stephen to remain at the Panthers and were disappointed the club could not reach an agreement at that point in time.
“Given the uncertainty surrounding the NRL salary cap and CBA negotiations, contract discussions were put on hold at the back-end of the 2022 season, while the club worked to establish its position.
“As a dual premiership winner and World Cup player, external interest in Stephen’s services were to be expected and although the club was working to maintain the representative player, Stephen made the decision to move forward with other interests.”

“The club thanks Stephen for his efforts and is looking forward to seeing him represent the Panthers for the remainder of the 2023 NRL season.”
Crichton will see out the ultimate 12 months of his contract earlier than becoming a member of a brand new membership.
