Ronan looks to the future after injury ends career

Niall Ronan is to focus on the exact reason he had to retire from professional rugby to embellish the next stage of his working life — injury.

The Ireland flanker, with 104 provincial and four Irish caps garnered in a very decent career — with seven years spent in Munster — has succumbed to a knee problem, an announcement made by Munster yesterday.

Ronan is soon to return to Drogheda and set up a business in strength and conditioning coaching, having achieved a BA recently with Setanta College.
