Former Wales lock Ian Gough has confirmed that he will retire from playing professional rugby at the end of the season.
The Newport Gwent Dragons forward, 38, has enjoyed a distinguished 17-year career at the top level.
Gough won 64 caps for his country and was part of two Grand Slam-winning sides in the Six Nations. His former clubs include Pontypridd, Ospreys and London Irish.
"I have had such a long rugby career and I have been lucky that my body has allowed me to do so in the pro era," he is quoted as saying by BBC Sport. "My career is something that I will look fondly on and I have no regrets through the good times and the bad."
Gough made his Wales debut in 1998 before hanging up his international boots 11 years later.
