Leicester Tigers women's skipper Jones retires

Natasha Jones scored three tries in 53 appearances for the Tigers

Leicester Tigers women's captain Natasha Jones has retired from rugby union.

Jones, 34, joined the Tigers women's team from Loughborough Lightning in 2022 and led the team through their inaugural season in the Championship 1 North.

The Leicester-born fly-half/centre, who represented England Under-20s and England A, went on to make 53 appearances for the club in three seasons.

"It's been an honour to play and captain Leicester Tigers for the past three years," she told the club's website.

"It was a childhood dream for me and will forever be my greatest achievement."
