Former England back rower Thomas Waldrom retires

Former England forward Thomas Waldrom has called time on his playing career at the age of 35.

Born in New Zealand, Waldrom won five caps for England between 2012 and 2013, and he was the Premiership's top try-scorer in 2015 and 2016.

The back-row man was a Premiership winner at Leicester Tigers in 2013, before joining Exeter Chiefs the following year.

Waldrom helped Exeter reach the last three Premiership finals, and to their first title success in 2017, before returning to New Zealand last summer to play for Wellington.

The big ball carrying forward helped Wellington to the Premiership semi-final in the Mitre 10 Cup with the side having just gained promotion from the Championship last season.
