Drew Mitchell to retire at the end of the season

Australia and Toulon wing Drew Mitchell has announced that he will be retiring at the end of the season.

The former Wallaby revealed the news through his Twitter account, bringing his illustrious 13 year spell to an end.

Mitchell began his career with the Reds in 2004, which lead to a two year spell with the Force from 2007-09 before making the switch to the Waratahs in 2010.

He received his first cap for Australia in 2005, Mitchell went on to make 71 appearances for his country, playing in three Rugby World Cups, scoring 34 tries.

Mitchell made the switch to France after the 2013 Super Rugby season, winning two Champions Cup with Toulon in 2014 & 2015 along with a Top 14 title in 2014.

So it's my turn to call time on my rugby career!
I've been very lucky to have had the experiences I've had in our great game.

Thank you
