Sale flanker David Seymour has called it a day on his career in rugby union, ending a 15 year career in the sport.
The 33-year-old Seymour was made club captain in 2012, and made 196 appearances for Sale since joining from Saracens in 2009.
The High Wycombe-native joined Saracens in 2003, making 73 appearances before being released prior to the start of the 2009/10 season.
In addition to his club career, Seymour made England appearances for England at under-21 level in the Six Nations and World Champions, and represented his country in the Rugby 7s format at various IRB competitions, and won a silver medal at the 2006 Commonwealth Games in Melbourne.
Sharks head coach Steve Diamond said:
He has led by example, putting his body on the line week in, week out and he has been an absolute credit to the club,
We are delighted that David will retain his close links with the club by becoming an official ambassador and everyone here at Sale Sharks wishes him all the best with his future career.
