Chris Bridge: to retire

Widnes centre Chris Bridge to retire at the end of the season


Widnes centre Chris Bridge has announced he will retire at the end of the season.

The 32-year-old has played 272 games during a career that has also seen him represent Bradford and Warrington.

Bridge ended a 10-year stay at the Wolves, whom he helped win the 2009 Challenge Cup, at the end of the 2015 campaign and signed a two-year deal at Widnes.

He also played international rugby league for both Ireland and England.

Bridge, banned for the Vikings' trip to St Helens on Friday, said: "I've struggled with injuries, so my boots are going up at the end of the year.

"All I've ever wanted to do is play rugby, so I'm going to enjoy my last year."
