Tom Biggs retires following medical advice
- 1866
Former Worcester Warriors wing Tom Biggs has announced his retirement from professional rugby following medical advice.
The 33-year old announced on his Twitter account that after numerous operations, he is forced to hang up his boots.
“Following medical advice, it is with regret that I am having to retire from professional rugby," said Biggs.
“After a lengthy rehab process with numerous operations, I had hoped to return to play and am very disappointed that this not be possible.
“I loved playing on a weekend, not so much on a Monday night. Wish I had achieved a bit more, but I always gave everything I had and at least I got to hold a bag at Penny Hill Park a couple of times..."
Biggs made an impact when he arrived at Warriors in 2014, scoring 14 tries in 22 appearances in their Championship promotion-winning campaign.
He also had spells at Yorkshire Carnegie, Newcastle Falcons and Bath and has been capped for England at under 21s, sevens and Saxons level.
