Sydney Roosters chief executive Steve Noyce says the club won't stand in the way of Todd Carney joining another National Rugby League team, after granting the troubled playmaker a release from the final year of his contract.
The 2010 Dally M Medallist walked away from the Roosters on Thursday following a litany of off-field incidents this year.
Unlike Canberra, who asked the NRL to prevent the five-eighth from joining a rival team immediately after sacking him in 2008, Noyce is happy for Carney to find new employers.
The 25-year-old Australian international had been linked with a switch to French-based Super League club Catalans, but coach Trent Robinson confirmed he had no interest in linking up again with Carney, who he worked with at the Roosters.
With a move to England also out of the question after he was denied a UK working visa to join Huddersfield in 2009 due to a criminal conviction, Carney must now hope the NRL agree to ratify a playing contract, should a club offer him another shot at redemption.
