Rugby League legend Sam Tomkins will retire at the end of the 2023 season.
The 33-year-old Catalans full back said a persistent issue with his left knee has contributed to his decision, and he will take an off-field role with the Dragons.
Tomkins won Super League’s Man of Steel award in 2012 and 2021. He also appeared in two World Cups for England, captaining his country to the semi-final stage at the most recent tournament last autumn.
