Ireland's rugby star Andrew Conway has announced his retirement from professional Rugby.

Munster and Ireland winger Andrew Conway has officially released a statement noting that he will retire with immediate effect from professional rugby due to a knee injury.

The shocking news comes as the 32-year-old has been unable to overcome a long-standing knee injury that cost him a lengthy spell out of the game in recent years.

Although Conway had made a return to URC action last month, he has now revealed that he has been advised to hang up his boots on medical grounds.

Although an obvious major blow to Munster and Ireland, who have also lost winger Keith Earls to retirement, Conway bows out after an outstanding career that saw him score 50 tries in his 150 Munster appearances. 

After coming up through the ranks at Blackrock College, Conway lined out 42 times for Leinster before making the successful move to Munster in 2013.

Conway will depart as Munster’s third-highest try scorer of all time having earned 30 Ireland caps and scored 15 tries since a 2017 Test debut against Six Nations opponents England. 

In a statement, Conway thanked the Munster and IRFU medics for their care and commitment and added: “I’ve been very fortunate to have been coached by some fantastic people. Thank you all. In particular to Felix Jones for showing me the way, Andy Farrell for having such belief in me and Graham Rowntree for your support in these tough times."
