Bradford Bulls captain Matt Diskin to retire at end of season

Bradford Bulls captain Matt Diskin has confirmed that he is to retire at the end of the season.

The 32-year-old joined Bradford in 2010 following a successful nine-year spell with Leeds Rhinos.

During his time playing for the Rhinos, Diskin won four Super League titles and the World Club Challenge.

"I am extremely proud of what I have achieved in the game and, not being the most naturally-gifted player, I have done this through sheer hard work and determination," he is quoted as saying by Sky Sports News.

"In my head, I would like to think I could play for another 10 or 20 years but my body is no longer allowing me to do the things I want it to do. I have made this call in order to ensure my longevity as a father, a husband and a person."

Diskin has made nearly 400 appearances for club, county and country during his career.
