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.
