Jack McGrath has brought the curtain down on a career that brought silverware with Leinster and Ireland and a key role on the British and Irish Lions tour of 2017.

The 33-year-old was released by Ulster at the end of last season and had been without a club as he strived to recover from an ongoing hip issue before he announced his retirement on Thursday morning.
