Huddersfield forward Ryan Hinchcliffe will retire from rugby league at the end of the Super League season.
The Australian joined the Giants from Melbourne in 2016 and has gone on to score 12 tries in 86 appearances for the club.
Hinchcliffe, who twice won the NRL Grand Final and played in two World Club Challenges, will return to Australia following Huddersfield's final Super 8s fixture at Catalans Dragons on September 29.
"I've really enjoyed my time here at the Giants but I just feel that it's the right time for me to call it a day and head back home," said the 33-year-old, who began his career with Canberra.
"There're a few things in the pipeline for transition into retirement and I'm excited at what the future holds."
Huddersfield head coach Simon Woolford has called on his team to send Hinchcliffe out on a high.
"He's one of those guys that lead by example on and off the field and he's certainly going to be a loss for us next year," said Woolford.
"We would have loved to have seen him stay but he's got a fantastic opportunity on the horizon so I understand his decision to go back to Australia.
"Hopefully we can send him out in the next four games with some wins."
