Leinster have released Kane Douglas from his contract with the province.

The Australian second-row joined Leinster last year and went on to make 20 appearances last season, including six in the Champions Cup.

However, a back injury kept him out of the end of last season.

In a statement, Leinster said: "a suitable agreement has been reached to release second row Kane Douglas from his contract with the province with immediate effect.

"Leinster Rugby would like to wish Kane and Jennarly the best of luck as they return home, and wish Kane well as he competes for World Cup selection with the Wallabies."
