Saracens pair to retire 'on medical grounds'

Ralph Adams-Hale played in Saracens' 37-34 defeat of Exeter Chiefs in the 2019 Premiership final at Twickenham

Saracens pair Cameron Boon and Ralph Adams-Hale will both retire from rugby at the end of the season.

Both players have been advised to end their professional careers early on medical grounds, the club said.

Prop Adams-Hale, 27, made 29 appearances for Saracens and played in the Premiership final victory against Exeter Chiefs at Twickenham in 2019.

"It was not an easy choice to make, and I deeply wish I could keep playing, however I have been medically advised to retire because of my shoulder and I must prioritise my long-term health and well-being," he told the club's website.

Boon made 11 appearances for the reigning league champions.

The 24-year-old lock said: "Thank you to everyone who has been involved in my rugby career and giving me the opportunity to live a young lads dream."

Saracens face Sale on the final day of the Premiership season.

They sit second in the table and need to win to guarantee a home semi-final at StoneX Stadium.
