Former Wales front row Adam Jones to retire from rugby at the end of season

Former Wales front row Adam Jones has announced that he will be officially hanging up his playing boots at the end of the season to concentrate on a full time coaching role with London club Harlequins.

The British and Irish Lion, and four-time Six Nations winner with Wales, has been appointed as Assistant Forwards Coach at The Stoop and will work alongside Forwards Coach Graham Rowntree.

With three Grand Slam titles to his name, the Abercrave-born tight head competed in three Rugby World Cups, winning 95 caps for his country between 2003 and 2014, and toured with the British and Irish Lions on two occasions; first in 2009 and then on the victorious 2013 tour to Australia.
