St George Illawarra have terminated the playing contract of captain Ben Hunt.

The halfback had a year to run on his deal but had made several comments in the media in recent weeks that made his position at the club untenable.

Hunt, 34, spent seven seasons at the Dragons and has made no secret of his desire to finish his career in Queensland.

"This decision was not easy and was not taken lightly, but we need to do what is best for the club at this time," said Dragons chief executive Ryan Webb.
