Bristol Bears number eight and four-time Premiership winner Jordan Crane has now officially retired.
The 33-year-old - who won the last of three England caps in 2009 - will now transition into a coaching role for the 2020-21 campaign.
Crane joined the Bears from Leicester in 2016, leading them to promotion and a ninth-placed finish last term.
He wrote on Twitter: "Well it’s officially time to sign off and hang up my boots.
"It’s been some ride for 16 years I’ve achieved everything I could have dreamed of and more.
"Thankyou to all the clubs I’ve represented and all the boys I’ve played with. It's been special."
A number of former teammates have responded to the post:
