"Having spoken to Harry and his agent early this year, they stated to me that they were looking at Harry's options in the NRL for 2027 and beyond," sporting director Ian Blease said.
"As a club, we have a proud record of developing our young talent and giving them the opportunity to play at the highest level, as Harry did this year with England."
Newman has made seven England appearances with one of those coming during this year's Ashes series.
"This has been a tough decision for me but one I feel I needed to make at this stage of my career," Newman added.
