CATALANS DRAGONS star Sam Tomkins has announced that he will be retiring at the end of Super League 2023.
He will, however, be staying at the Stade Gilbert Brutus in a coaching role, with the fullback announcing the news live on Sky Sports earlier tonight.
“I’ve got that many issues in my knee that I can’t really go on much longer,” Tomkins said live on Sky Sports. “I had to go in and say I didn’t have long left.”
“It’s a strange feeling knowing that it is coming to an end and even speaking about it, it doesn’t feel real yet.
“I want to go out a winner this year. My hunger to win is exactly the same as it was all those years ago when I had no beard, a mullet and bleach-blonde hair.”
