Great Britain prop Danny Ward has issued an apology after he was dismissed by Leeds earlier this week.
The 25-year-old was sacked less than four weeks before the start of the new Super League season after a series of unspecified breaches of club rules.
It is believed up to four Super League clubs have already expressed interest in signing the player.
"Danny is deeply embarrassed and upset by the contract termination," said his agent Ron Hill in a statement.
"He would like to apologise to all the supporters, chairman Paul Caddick, chief executive Gary Hetherington, head coach Tony Smith and all his playing and working colleagues at Headingley, for any shame he has brought upon the club.
"His unreserved thanks go out to everyone associated with his success in rugby league culminating in achieving Great Britain status and many honours as part of the successful Rhinos team.
"There will be no further comment from Danny on his dismissal as he looks forward to trying to resurrect his career in pastures new."
Ward made 135 appearances after joining the club from Dewsbury Moor in 1999 and was a member of their Grand Final-winning team in 2004.
He is understood to have had a run-in with Smith while the club were in Perpignan for a match against London last year.
A conviction for drink-driving at the end of 2005 was another black mark against the son of former Leeds captain and coach David Ward.
Hill is confident Ward will secure a new deal by the time the season begins on 10 February.
The main obstacle is the 20/20 rule, where each club can have a maximum of 20 players earning more than £20,000.
Hill said some Super League clubs had room to manoeuvre within their salary cap, but had already taken up all the places available in the 20/20 rule.
BBC Sport also understands that the new Australian club, Gold Coast, had expressed an interest in signing him for their inaugural 2007 season.

HE'S been a fixture of the selection landscape at every level from club to Test football, helping to pick arguably the most successful bolter in State of Origin history.
However, this year, for the first time in roughly 40 years, Hugh Kelly will put aside the notepad and finally enjoy becoming a passive onlooker.
As approachable and humble a man as when he started out his league odyssey in Cairns, Kelly gives little outward indication of an astonishing past.
To those who deal with him now, he's an easy-going 74-year-old, selling veterinary products to make ends meet and stave off retirement.
But to those with a sense of sporting history, Kelly's also the man who lent a hand to the selection of Allan Langer in Maroon. A monumentally contentious decision at the time, it proved a masterstroke as Langer went onto become the most-capped player in Origin history.
Of course Kelly sat with two other men on the panel that picked Langer back in 1987, they being Chairman of Selectors Dud Beattie and ongoing Australian selector Les Geeves.
Kelly remembers a decision that went firmly against the grain and was made on the deepest of gut instincts.
"We had three main candidates from the trials at the time and they were Laurie Spina, who was playing for Sydney Easts, Kevin Walters, who was at Canberra and 'Alfie', who was under Tommy Raudonikis at Ipswich," says Kelly.
"Truthfully, one bloke was a standout at the games we watched and that was Kevvy Walters.
"But the thing that tipped it Alfie's way was that he was a Queenslander through and through. It was an instinct about what we thought was best for the team and we went with it.
"Yes, Kevvy might possibly have got the nod in front of him had he not been down at Canberra back then."
Kelly recalls coach Wayne Bennett - an unabashed fan of Walters - quizzing the selection panel about Langer's inclusion.
"Wayne said to us 'He's a bit small, don't you think?'," Kelly reveals.
In the book State of Origin - 25 Years of Sports Greatest Rivalry, author Norm Tasker writes of the Langer pick:
'Neither the players as a whole, who were bemused by his selection, nor the coach Wayne Bennett, who actively opposed it, were initially welcoming. Langer conceded in later years he felt a lonely, isolated figure.'
Such are the twists of fate however, that by the end of the series Langer was Queensland's new champion. He was awarded man-of-the-match honours in a deciding Game III and won hearts across the State for his gutsy and intuitive play.
Some even contend that Langer ultimately saved the representative career of Bennett, his future mentor, who until that point had experienced mixed success.
Kelly's penchant for relying on instinct wasn't confined to the Langer case alone though.
It was invariably a hallmark of his days on various selection panels, stretching from the early 1960s with Western Suburbs right up until 2005 with the Queensland City side. He maintained a position as Queensland selector from 1984-1994 and also had his input on a handful of Australian sides.
"I remember the advice (former Australian centre, fellow selector and journalist) Jack Reardon gave me late one night after picking a team," Kelly says.
"He said to me that a fella once told him when you have a player in mind for selection, watch him when he doesn't have the ball.
"A player might be fantastic at running the ball on his own, but not be a team player. You want someone who will block gaps and stay enthusiastic.
"It's not always the superstar you look for. Quite often it's the feeling you have as to how a player will contribute to a team.a gut feeling."
Kelly retires from selecting as a life member of the QRL South East Division and as one of the most respected icons of the Western Suburbs club.

The Coach and Planning.
With Brian Canavan - Sydney Roosters
Continued from Wednesday
The training regime is still needed but an effective plan allowed not only for active work but time also for rest and recovery.
"The body improves while it rests," he stated. "It loads up physiologically and mentally in anticipation of the next training session in which it will show an improvement."
At this stage Brian equated properly planned rest and recovery sessions as important as his original point about enjoyment.
"Technically," Brian said, "you need to be aware of the term Periodisation. This involves the division of the overall training programme into periods which accomplish goals."
He went on to say that the goals should be not just general but specific. They needed to state clearly what you wanted to achieve - even at different stages on the path to the premiership rounds. They needed also to be measurable.
To this end he talked of Micro and Macro Cycles.
The former are the small blocks of activities which are recurrent and the latter, planned four-week blocks of training.
Taking pre-season as an example, Brian stated that this would involve two to three four-week blocks divided into pre-Christmas, post-Christmas and trials.
He added, of course, that this was for the top level and coaches of country teams and younger groups who would not have this luxury, would need to adapt their blocks to the level of time available to them.
In organising these blocks, Brian referred to three different methods of planning.
The first of these, he called The Wave Plan.
This involved alternating waves of volume and intensity. Volume referring to 'how much and how many' of an activity and intensity to 'what level'.
Over the four weeks, the change in both is meant to follow a gradual curve or wave with intensity, such as more body contact, increasing in the later blocks.
Brian warned of over use of the volume aspect in particular.
The Step Plan, Brian said, involved more radical change in volume and intensity in the first three weeks of each block and then a very important 'drop down, recovery week'.
The body has been challenged with significant increases in activity and the fourth week was for the mind to be challenged with different and lighter activities. This aligned with the 'body at rest' theory mentioned earlier.
