Former England international Chris Ashton to retire from rugby at end of season
Former England wing Chris Ashton will retire at the end of the season, his club Leicester have announced.
Ashton is to call time on an 18-year career that began in rugby league and is set to finish at the Tigers, the Gallagher Premiership side he joined midway through last season.
The 36-year-old is one of the great finishers in the English game and will retire as the record try scorer in the Premiership (98) and Heineken Champions Cup (41).
