Cronulla enforcer Dale Finucane has announced his immediate retirement from the NRL on medical advice.
The Sharks co-captain, 32, was told by doctors to hang up his boots due to repeated head knocks across his decorated career.
Finucane confirmed the development on Tuesday alongside coach Craig Fitzgibbon.
The dual-premiership winner with the Melbourne Storm is contracted at the Sharks until the end of 2025 - but has been scuppered by injuries in recent times.
He missed the end of the 2023 season with a torn bicep and fractured his eye socket earlier this year, restricting him to only three appearances so far.
