The University of Canberra Brumbies have released Cam Crawford from
the final year of his contract to join the NSW Waratahs.

Crawford arrived in Canberra in 2011 as an Academy star and was
rewarded with a two year deal at the end of his first year in the ACT.

Making his Super Rugby debut in Perth against the Force in 2012,
Crawford has shown he has the potential to be a quality player in the
future.

But limited game time and an opportunity to move home to Sydney
prompted the outside back to ask the University of Canberra Brumbies
for an early release.

University of Canberra Brumbies Head Coach Jake White wished Cam all
the best in the future.

"Cam is a popular member of the Brumbies squad and it's a shame to see
him head back to Sydney," White said.

"Unfortunately things haven't worked out for him in Canberra, but with
a fresh start in Sydney I'm sure he will have a successful career.

"Cam grew up in Sydney, his family are all still there, including his
girlfriend, so it's understandable that he was interested in taking an
offer from the Waratahs.

"I'd like wish Cam all the best in the future, both on and off the rugby field."
