Greenwood informed the club on Thursday and Wildcats managing director Nick Marvin said he was very disappointed to receive the news.
"Unfortunately Hugh Greenwood's decision not to honour his contract poses a significant challenge for us. Whilst he leaves with our best wishes, it does require us to revise our recruiting strategy immediately," he said.
"We made numerous decisions based on his commitment to us, so we are disappointed to lose him.
"However, the Wildcats family has always dealt well with adversity and this occasion will be no different."
Greenwood was in the first month of a three-year contract with the Wildcats.
