Scotland full-back Rory Lamont has announced his retirement from rugby due to injury.
The 30-year-old suffered a broken leg in a 2012 RBS 6 Nations clash with France and hasn’t been seen in a Scotland shirt since.
And Lamont has admitted he has lost the battle to regain fitness and has hung up his boots, finishing his career with 29 caps for Scotland having made his debut against Wales in 2005.
Lamont also leaves Glasgow Warriors with the club having secured a Pro12 play-off berth and the former Sale Shark and Toulon back insists he will now be a fan for the rest of the campaign.
“I’m sad to be retiring from professional rugby but I’ve been struggling with injury for some time now,” he said.
“It’s clear I won’t be able to get back to the level I was playing at before.
“Despite a tough time personally it’s been a privilege to see the boys [Glasgow] do so well and make such good progress this season.
“It’s fantastic to have been at the club during this exciting time and I wish them all the very best for the remaining games this season.”
