Twice-capped Wales tighthead prop Ben Broster has suffered an injury that has forced him to retire from playing.
The 35-year-old spent time playing Wasps, Saracens, Scarlets and Northampton before he then joined then Top 14 club Biarritz from Wasps in 2012 and also had a stint playing for their local rivals Bayonne.
"I had hoped to play a couple more seasons, but it was not to be. I can look back on my career with great pride," Broster told the BBC.
"I have been extremely privileged to do what I love for a living, playing for some great clubs, representing my country and playing with and against some of the world's best players."
Broster earned his Wales caps in June 2005 in North America during the British and Irish Lions tour of New Zealand.
