Lloyd Fairbrother: Dragons prop forced to retire aged 32

Dragons prop Lloyd Fairbrother has announced his retirement from professional rugby with immediate effect at the age of 32 because of a back injury.

After joining Dragons in 2014, Fairbrother made 172 appearances and is joint fifth in the all-time appearance charts.

He made his final appearance in the New Year’s Day game against Scarlets and has now made the decision to hang up his boots.

“Regrettably, I’ve had to make the decision to step away from professional rugby and focus on my health, wellbeing, and family,” said Fairbrother.

“This has been one of the hardest decisions I’ve ever had to make. But I’m stepping away as I don’t feel I can get back to being 100% Lloyd due to back issues and knowing carrying on will be detrimental to my long-term health.

“I’d like to thank everyone that’s been a part of my journey. To all the clubs I’ve represented, past and present players and staff and to all my friends, supporters and critics.

“To the Dragons supporters, I deeply appreciate the support and following I’ve had over my career.

“It’s meant everything to me and representing the people of Gwent has always been one of my main purposes.”
