Danny Care, the former England scrum-half, has announced his retirement from rugby after an illustrious career spanning 20 years, including 101 Test caps and a record 394 appearances for Harlequins. Although he initially aimed to play until the 2025-26 season, he is now set to conclude his career with a farewell match against Exeter. Care reflects positively on his journey, acknowledging the physical and mental toll of the sport but expressing gratitude for his experiences and achievements, including two Premiership titles and success in the European Challenge Cup.
It is sad, but it is the right time for me and the club for me to do something else and for other lads to get the opportunity to wear the shirt.
Mentally as well it's not the easiest job in the world. People see the great stuff but don't see the pain you're in most of the time, but I am so lucky to have done this job for 20 years.
