ENGLAND star Dan Sarginson has quit rugby league at just 29, saying he wants to "find more purpose" in life.
The former Wigan centre, who had not played since August due to injury and illness, left Salford by mutual agreement on Friday, prompting speculation about his next Super League destination.
But he revealed last night he has quit the sport after losing his desire and wants to help others through their own struggles instead.
Sarginson suffered heartache when his young brother Adam died suddenly in 2018 at the age of 23.
But he won the Grand Final with Wigan just a few weeks later, his second title with the Cherry and Whites. He said: "Losing my little brother was tough but the whole rugby league community was amazing. Everyone at Wigan was top-drawer and I pinch myself thinking back now that I have finished playing that we could win that Grand Final.
