Former Lions wing to retire

London - Former England and British and Irish Lions winger Ugo Monye will retire at the end of the Premiership season, his club Harlequins have said on Monday.

The 31-year-old, who won 14 caps for England and played two tests for the Lions against South Africa in 2009, has spent 13 years with Harlequins after graduating from the club's academy.

"It is a decision that I have been thinking about for a long time and one that I haven't taken lightly," Monye told the Harlequins website.
