Print Edition
Former Ireland captain Jamie Heaslip has ended his playing career with immediate effect on medical advice, the 34-year-old said yesterday.
Heaslip, who won 95 caps for Ireland and captained the national team 13 times, has struggled to recover from a back injury he suffered last year. 鈥淚鈥檝e had the time of my life on and off the rugby pitch but now it鈥檚 time for the next chapter,鈥 he said on Twitter. No. 8 Heaslip played for Irish side Leinster and represented the British & Irish Lions in a senior career that began 14 years ago. He has not played since facing Wales in last year鈥檚 Six Nations. 鈥淢y goal when I started my career 14 years ago was to leave the jersey that I wore in a better place and I hope I have done that,鈥 Heaslip added. The back-rower played in two Rugby World Cups 鈥 in 2011 and 2015 鈥 and was nominated for world rugby鈥檚 player of the year award in 2009 and 2016. Heaslip, a key player in Ireland鈥檚 Six Nations title-winning teams of 2014 and 2015, scored 13 tries for his country.
