• Flanker will quit after injury-plagued season at Northampton
• Eddie Jones pays tribute to ‘superb player’ and ‘great character’
James Haskell, who has endured an injury-plagued campaign with Northampton this campaign, has announced he will retire at the end of the season.
The 34-year-old flanker earned 77 caps for England, which included appearing at two World Cups and collecting three Six Nations titles, including a Grand Slam in 2016. He had a stellar career at Wasps, where he made over 200 appearances in a 12-year career, splitting two spells at the club with stints at Stade Français, Ricoh Black Rams, and the Highlanders, before joining Northampton last year.
