The 29-year-old is under contract until the end of next season but will be given permission to talk to other clubs.
The Sharks would contribute to his contract if he can find another club.

Moylan knocked back a three-year offer to join the Wests Tigers at the beginning of the season.
The Sharks are not in a position to strengthen their roster next year unless he finds a new club.
