Dom Young's tenure at the Sydney Roosters appears to be all-but over, with the club telling the towering winger he is free to leave.
According to The Sydney Morning Herald, the 23-year-old has been granted permission to negotiate with rival NRL clubs, despite being signed until the end of 2027.
Young was axed last month and has spent the past two weeks in NSW Cup, with Mark Nawaqanitawase and Robert Toia making their mark in the first grade backline.

Young has scored 68 tries in 80 NRL games since moving over from the Super League, as nine tries in six appearances for England on the international stage.
