The St George Illawarra Dragon can confirm that Nathan Lawson has been granted an immediate release from the club to pursue an opportunity in Rugby Sevens.
Lawson joined the Dragons on a development deal in 2025 having made a name for himself as one of the nation's premier Rugby Sevens stars and moved into the club’s Top 30 for this season.
His NRL debut came in Round 13 last year in a win over Newcastle at St George Venues Jubilee Stadium before he nabbed his maiden four-pointer in the side’s Round 17 win over Parramatta.
He would go on to make four appearances for the club scoring two tries and played an integral role in the club’s Knock-On Effect NSW Cup campaign a year ago before having his season cut short by injury.
Dragons CEO Tim Watsford said: “We wish Nathan and his family all the very best moving forward. He was a popular and respected teammate during his time with the club and we thank his for his contributions to the Red V.”
