Andrew Conway: Ireland and Munster wing retires from rugby
- Published
Andrew Conway won the Six Nations Triple Crown with Ireland in 2022
Ireland and Munster wing Andrew Conway has announced his retirement aged 32 because of a knee injury.
Conway won 30 Ireland caps after making his debut in 2017 and scored 15 tries.
He also played 150 times for Munster and is the province's third-highest scorer with 50 tries.
"I'm not exactly sure what is next, but I'm very excited to take all the learnings from the last 14 years into the next chapter," Conway said.
"To my team-mates from my first Leinster cap in 2010 all the way to my last Munster cap last month. It was an honour to go to battle with you all.
"Playing for Ireland was my dream come true. Singing the national anthem with my team-mates, watched on by family and friends was the proudest I've ever been. I'm more grateful than words can express."
After coming through the system at Leinster, Conway made 40 appearances in Blue before moving to Thomond Park and Munster in 2013.
He soon established himself in Munster's team and made his Ireland debut in 2017 against England and played at the 2019 World Cup.
Conway won the Triple Crown in the 2022 Six Nations with Ireland, but a knee injury ruled him out of the entirety of 2022-23 season, and subsequently the recent World Cup in France.
After his 12-month lay off, Conway scored a try in Munster's bonus-point win over the Sharks in October in what would turn out to be his 150th and final game in professional rugby.
