"transfer" - or other term?

Sports / Fitness / Recreation
I have to use the term that will describe the following.
A hockey player is switching clubs. For example, he plays for club A (hereinafter A) and then he made up his mind to play for club B (hereinafter B). If there is an agreement between A and B where B is applying to A requesting to use the player's services and A agrees, then the player is TRANSFERRED from A to B. But what is the proper term to use if the player just wants to switch clubs on his own? There are no agreements between clubs whatsoever. Let's say, B will pay him more - that's why he is interested in it. I am looking for an official terms (terms). I was using ***to switch clubs*** but my heart is not in it...
Any examples will be appreciated).

move
Your suggestions are all good, but you could also use "move" since it does not imply any action on anyone's behalf (the team, the club, etc.) and indicates that the player simply 'moved' to another club, either after having been traded to that other club or from his own free will.
For example:
4.19 Player Movement Within a Club. A player who has been properly registered on a club’s team may move to another team within that club provided all eligibility requirements are met and the player is properly re-rostered before the move takes place.

transferred
hired by another team
The term changes depending on the sport and the status of the player. When the player is a free agent, he or she can negociate a contract with any team. When the player is under a contract, on the other hand, then the team can "trade" him or her or break the contract.
I hope it helps.

In pro hockey the players have contracts and cannot just leave one club for another unless they are "free agents". Players who are not free agents can be "traded".
I don't believe there is a specific term for a free agent who changes clubs. One might say he has "switched" teams, or "joined" another team.

When a hockey team "signs" (hires) a "free agent", he has been "picked up" (selected).

It is his initiative and will to do so. He is not picked / hired (he is not an object of the action), he is the subject - he does it himself.
