Ben Jacobs to retire from professional rugby

Wasps today confirm that Australian centre Ben Jacobs will retire from professional rugby after a career spanning fourteen years.

“I have been very fortunate and grateful to play a game I have loved for 14 years. I always dreamed of playing rugby as a young boy and for me, this dream came true," said the Aussie. 

“I have had a great time at Wasps and have made many lifelong friends. I feel like it is my home away from home and although I am sad to leave, I feel now is the right time.":

The 34-year-old, who has recently become a father for the first time, plans to stay in England and explore coaching opportunities.
