Saracens have confirmed that Aussie powerhouse Ollie Hoskins will retire from professional rugby at the end of the season.

The 32-year-old prop, who earned a cap for Australia during the 2021 Autumn Internationals, will call time on a career spanning more than a decade.
From Perth to North London
Hoskins kicked off his career with Western Force back in 2013 before making the switch to London Irish in 2016. Over the next seven years, he racked up more than 100 appearances for the Exiles, playing a key role in their promotion to the Gallagher Premiership and their European Challenge Cup campaigns.
When London Irish entered administration in 2023, Saracens swooped in – and Hoskins quickly became a reliable figure in Mark McCall’s front row, making 16 appearances in two seasons with the Men in Black.
A grateful goodbye
Reflecting on his journey, Hoskins thanked Saracens for stepping in when his world was turned upside down.
“Saracens took me in when the rug was pulled from under me, and for that I’m so thankful. Thank you to everyone who has supported me throughout my career.”
Hoskins bows out with dignity, admiration, and plenty of respect across the rugby world. A solid scrummager, a top teammate, and an all-round good bloke – enjoy retirement, Ollie.
