Winger Jason Robinson retires - and this time it's final

World Cup winner Jason Robinson has announced his retirement from rugby for the second and, he insists, final time.

Robinson initially hung up his boots after the 2007 World Cup and then returned to action with fourth-tier club Fylde last year.

But after helping the Lancashire outfit win promotion to National League One, the 36-year-old has decided to call it a day once and for all.

Robinson won 51 caps for England, including seven as captain, and played in five Tests for the British and Irish Lions.

"I have had a fantastic career and a good year with Fylde, especially with the promotion to National League One," Robinson told BBC Lancashire. "But it is the right time to quit while I am ahead.

"When I look back and look at the stats, World Cups, Lions tours and Challenge Cups, I can certainly look back with some fantastic memories. I have ticked almost every box there is to tick, so it was a pretty easy decision."

Robinson began his career in rugby league with Wigan and represented Great Britain before switching codes and joining Sale in 2000. A devastating finisher, Robinson toured with the Lions in 2001 and 2005 and was a key member of England's victorious 2003 World Cup squad.

He came out of international retirement to help England reach the 2007 World Cup final under Brian Ashton.
