James Hall will take a break from professional rugby as he will undergo knee surgery and will remain involved with rugby during his break.
The prop arrived at Bristol in 2013 and has made 44 appearances since.
I’ve had a few injuries to my knee and, while it’s been managed well until the end of the season, it’s got to the point where I need an operation to correct the issue and be able to continue playing in future,” Hall said.
“I’m going to take a break from professional rugby, but I want to be as pro-active as possible and continue developing, even if I’m not on the field. I’ve completed my RFU Level Three coaching badge this season, as well as working with the Academy and UWE rugby set-up. Coaching is something that I really enjoy and I have been fortunate enough to coach Broad Plain – a great local club – too.
