Chris Cusiter announces retirement
Sale Sharks scrum half Chris Cusiter has announced his retirement from professional rugby.
“As far as my rugby career goes, I considered myself privileged to receive a Scotland ‘A’ cap in 2002. If it had ended there at that point then I would have been happy.
"I could never have imagined all the experiences I would be able to have over the next 14 years through rugby...Playing for Scotland 70 times was more than I could have dreamed of growing up learning how to play rugby at Robert Gordon’s College in Aberdeen."
The 33-year-old joined Sale in 2014, after spells with Glasgow Warriors, Border Reivers and Perpignan. He is shifting his focus and will be venturing into a Scotch whisky business in Los Angeles.
"I've been fascinated by the Scotch whisky industry for the past few years and firmly believe that it is Scotland's finest and greatest export and something to be very proud of."
Cusiter was part of the Scotland side which reached the quarter-finals of the 2007 World Cup in France, and later won the Top 14 title with Perpignan in 2009.
