Injury forces Quinnell to retire
13/04/2006 - 18:55:27Wales forward Craig Quinnell has confirmed he will retire from professional rugby due to a serious neck injury.
The Cardiff second-rower has made the decision after seeing a specialist this week about the injury to discs in his neck suffered against Glasgow two weeks ago.
Quinnell said: “Obviously I’m really disappointed.
“The consultant has told me I could be one hit away from a wheelchair and that really hits home how lucky I have been.
“I am hopefully able to continue to play other sports such as golf and squash, as well as lead a normal life.”
