LONDON: England flanker James Haskell is to retire at the end of the season after struggling to overcome a succession of injuries during his year at Premiership club Northampton.

"I have loved every minute of my career in rugby and feel very privileged to have played with and against some exceptional players," the 2017 British and Irish Lions tourist said. "I've never spent so much time injured in my entire career, but I'm doing everything I can to help the squad here until my contract ends."Haskell spent the bulk of his career at Wasps, with his two spells at the club sandwiching stints in French, Japanese and New Zealand club rugby.

Eddie Jones has looked elsewhere for his flankers, however, with the emergence of Tom Curry, Sam Underhill and Mark Wilson taking England in a different direction.
