Concussion forces Connacht’s Dave McSharry to retire

Connacht centre Dave McSharry has been forced to retire from professional rugby due to a concussion injury.

McSharry, an Ireland A international, met a neurologist last week where he was advised to retire.

“Although I am devastated my time as a player has come to an end, I know it is the only decision available to me after speaking to the specialist,” McSharry told the Connacht website.
