Injured Venter’s career at Exiles could be finished

LONDON IRISH player-coach Brendan Venter looks certain to have played his last game for the Zurich Premiership strugglers.

Venter, who is returning home to South Africa this summer after five years with Irish, suffered a knee injury during the Exiles’ 26-14 home defeat against Leeds two days ago.

Although Irish are awaiting scan results, the club’s medical staff are “confident” that former Springboks centre Venter has suffered a medial ligament injury.
