Former Wales and British and Irish Lions full-back Liam Williams has declared his retirement.
The 93-cap star retired from international duty in January but has now called time on his club career – citing an ongoing knee injury as a factor behind his decision.
In a post on social media, Williams reported: “Grateful for every memory, and a thank you to everyone who backed me along the way.
“A special journey, but time to hang up the boots. On to the next chapter.”
Williams, who played both full-back and wing for his country, scored 21 tries for Wales and won two Six Nations titles, including a Grand Slam in 2019.
The 34-year-old also toured with the Lions to New Zealand in 2017 and South Africa four years later – playing in five Tests across the two tours.
Williams, nicknamed ‘Sanjay’, played amateur rugby while working as a scaffolder in the Port Talbot steelworks.
He began his professional career with Scarlets – who he represented across two spells – and went on to have stints with Saracens, Cardiff, Japanese side Kubota Spears and finally Newcastle Red Bulls.
In a video posted on social media, the Swansea-born player reported: “I’ve been a professional for 15 years, that takes its toll. I think it’s the right time for me to call it a day.
“I always thought I would go out on my own terms. Having knee trouble for the past few years has taken its toll.”
Williams also paid tribute to coaches including Warren Gatland, Neil Jenkins and Nigel Davies before he signed off with the message: “I’d like to thank all of the fans out there who supported me on the way.
“My journey’s ended but a new chapter is about to begin.”
