Injured Nev Codlin has left Cinderford by mutual consent so he can concentrate on getting himself back to full fitness.
An agreement has been made between the Cinderford winger and the club to let him go after five seasons at Dockham Road.
His last taste of action for the Foresters was during their home victory over Ealing Trailfinders but he had to be carried off after suffering a tear to an ankle ligament.
The set-back is his latest in a long line of injuries during the past eight months but Codlin is confident he can return to the game with a flourish.
He said: "It has been a frustrating season for me and this is something I have been thinking about for a long time.
"I would like a change and there has already been a lot of changes at the club this season. My plan is to get fit and fully refreshed and see what other doors may open up for me."
Codlin drew interest from Coventry last season, a club looking at a future in the Championship. The winger says he would relish a chance to impress at a club in the second tier of English rugby and is hoping to be fit to feature for the England Counties set-up this summer.
He added: "I will have many fond memories of playing with Cinderford and I would still like to play at this level for a while yet. I want to sort out my body and my head first and then I will see what opportunities are out there."
