"2021 will be my last year as a pro' player, I'll retire at the end of the year," he wrote on Instagram.

"Thanks to everyone who has played a part in helping me since being the age of six. I wish it didn't have to end but time slows for nobody, I've loved every minutes. Thanks for the memories."

Wigan forward John Bateman wrote: "Great to have the opportunity to play alongside you, legend."
