England stalwart to call it quits

Geno Smith Wants ‘Explosive’ Offense During 2025 Season

One of English rugby’s most-capped internationals has announced that he will retire from the professional game at the end of this season.

Leicester Tigers scrumhalf Ben Youngs, who played in 127 Tests for England, quit international rugby after the 2023 World Cup in France, where Steve Borthwick’s men finished third.

Youngs made his England debut in 2010 and featured in four World Cups, also winning won four Six Nations titles.

The 35-year-old playmaker, who made his 332nd appearance for Leicester on Sunday, made his senior debut for the club in 2007 and has won five English Premiership titles.

Youngs, who also played for the British & Irish Lions, underwent heart surgery last year after collapsing during a Leicester training session.

“It’s a bittersweet feeling really,” Youngs said in a Leicester statement on Tuesday. “Obviously, I’m sad at the thought it’s coming to an end but I’m excited about the rest of this season, excited about what this group can do.

“That’s the strange part, I’m using the ’R’ word [retirement] but it isn’t over today. There is still plenty of rugby left this season and that’s what is at the front of my mind. I’m not done, let’s not write the obituary just yet.”

Leicester are currently second in the Premiership table behind Bath. At the end of the regular season, the top four teams enter the playoffs to determine the champions.
