Hull Daily Mail
|May 28, 2025
Former England prop Dan Cole has announced he is to retire at the end of the season.
-
The 38-year-old, who is his country's second-most capped men's player with 118, will hang up his boots at the conclusion of Leicester's campaign.
Cole featured in four World Cups with England, reaching the final in 2019, and has won four Premiership titles with the Tigers. He also toured twice with the British and Irish Lions.
The veteran said his decision was partly influenced by that of Ben Youngs, his long-time team-mate for club and country, who is also retiring.
