Veteran England prop Cole to retire
England and British and Irish Lions prop Dan Cole said on Tuesday he will retire at the end of the season aged 38.
Cole came through Leicester's academy before becoming his country's second-most capped player on 118 appearances, behind team-mate Ben Youngs.
The tight-head won three Six Nations titles and featured at four Rugby World Cups.
He also played three Tests on two Lions' series and made his last England appearance in November.
"It has not been an easy decision at all," Cole said in a Leicester statement.
"I have been to-ing and fro-ing; however, I think this is the best time for me to finish playing.
"I don't want to be the old guy, just sat around and hanging on to something for too long," he added.
Cole's Leicester sit second in the Premiership table with one game of the regular season to play.
