Miles Benjamin announces retirement
Miles has announced retirement from rugby due to a knee injury. Miles joined Leicester Tigers from Worcester Warriors in the summer
of 2013 and scored 10 tries in 29 appearances for the club. He made his final appearance for Tigers in a home win against the Chiefs in March 2016.
"It is massively disappointing to be denied the opportunity to play the game by injury," said the 27-year-old. "Injuries are part and parcel of the game, but on this occasion I have been told I must look to a future away from playing the game professionally."
Leicester director of rugby Richard Cockerill said: "It is very disappointing news that Miles has had to confirm his retirement from rugby at such a young age.He has worked diligently at the club and we wish Miles well for the future and he will always be welcome at Welford Road.”
Miles scored 60 tries in 124 appearances for Worcester Warriors, as well as gaining representative calls at Under-20s and England Saxons level where he scored six tries in five appearances.
