Ben Youngs will bring down the curtain on his 18-year career and retire from professional rugby at the end of the season.
Youngs, who has 127 caps for his country – an England men’s record – and another two for the British & Irish Lions, retired from international duty after the 2023 World Cup, helping Steve Borthwick’s side to a third-place finish, but has continued playing for his boyhood club, Leicester Tigers, since.
The 35-year-old spent the entirety of his club career at the Tigers, making his debut in 2007 for the club which also counted his father, Nick, and brother, Tom, among their former players.
