Exeter lock Postlethwaite to retire aged 27
Written by I Dig SportsExeter Chiefs lock Matt Postlethwaite has been forced to retire on medical grounds.
The 27-year-old joined the club last summer after six seasons at Sale Sharks.
But he made only three first-team appearances in the Premiership Rugby Cup at the start of the season before being sidelined with injury.
His final game in an Exeter shirt came in a friendly against the Royal Navy in March.
Its been a tough period of time for me, getting injured and then trying to come back following my operation," he told the Exeter website.
"This is not how I would have wanted my time in the sport to come to an end, but Ive loved every minute of my time at Exeter Chiefs."
