Departing Canterbury star Josh Reynolds insists he has no ill will towards the NRL club despite admitting it hurt to be squeezed out by Kieran Foran.

The five-eighth said he hoped to stay for Foran’s impending arrival before signing a lucrative four-year deal to join Wests Tigers at the end of the season.

“It does hurt a bit because he’s (Foran) coming to the club I love, and I would have loved to have stayed,” Reynolds told Fairfax Media.
