Cleary has spent the last two seasons in the Warriors\u2019 system, mostly plying his trade in reserve grade.<\/p>\n
He has yet to make his NRL debut but that could change shortly given the Warriors\u2019 halves crisis after injuries to Te Maire Martin and Luke Metcalf.<\/p>\n
The 21-year-old has requested a release from his Warriors deal at season\u2019s end in order to join his brother Nathan and father Ivan in the latter\u2019s final year at the helm at Penrith.<\/p>\n
The younger Cleary\u2018s current deal with the Warriors runs until the end of 2027 and his request to leave early have left the club none too pleased.<\/p>\n
According to Code Sports, the Warriors planned to decline the request, which caught Penrith off-side given the Panthers let gun prop James Fisher-Harris head across the Tasman two years before the end of his deal.<\/p>\n
However, the two clubs are set to resolve things in the coming days and Jett\u2019s wish is set to be granted.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s worth noting that Warriors coach Andrew Webster used to be an assistant coach under Cleary at Penrith but there\u2019s no suggestion their relationship has suffered because of this development.<\/p>\n
