After 16 years as a professional, over a decade of which has been spent at Bath, hooker Ross Batty will call time on his fantastic career at the end of the season.
The 34-year-old is to step away from the game on the advice of medical professionals following a neck injury sustained before Christmas 2020.
It is not a decision he wanted to make this season but one he has come to terms with after reflecting on what he has achieved since first picking up a ball as a child in the football-mad community of County Durham.

Having spent time playing in England, Canadian international flanker Matt Heaton wanted a new challenge in the wake of the 2019 Rugby World Cup.
Major League Rugby in North America beckoned. I d been watching the league while I was in the U.K. still and I was kind of at a crossroads with where I wanted to go next, said the 28-year-old from Godmanchester, Que. And then when the MLR kind of popped up, I looked at all the cities and I said Where is the place I d least likely end up?
