Super League news: Wakefield prop Scott Anderson to hang up boots at the end of the season

Wakefield's Australian prop Scott Anderson has announced his decision to retire at the end of the season.

Anderson, 30, has made 44 appearances for the Wildcats since joining them from Brisbane Broncos in 2014 but has experienced a string of injuries during his three seasons in Super League.

"It has been one of the hardest decisions I have ever had to make but it is the right time for me to retire," Anderson said. "I have had a few injuries these past couple of years which have set me back and it is time I listen to what my body is telling me.

"Rugby has been part of my life since I was seven years old and I haven't really known anything else, it is going to be a big void in my life.

"I have thoroughly enjoyed my time here, it is a great club with some fantastic supporters and I wish them all the best for next season."
