Openly gay Welsh rugby star Gareth Thomas is retiring from the game.

Thomas made the announcement on his official Facebook page today.

“We can confirm that Gareth Thomas is officially retiring from both international and club rugby with immediate effect,” Emanuele Palladino from Thomas’ management company, Distinct, said.

“This marks the end of what has been a remarkable career for a remarkable person. Gareth hopes that through his achievements both on and off the field he has left a lasting legacy within the game.”
