Scott Anderson set to retire

Wakefield Trinity have confirmed that Scott Anderson is set to retire at the end of the season.

The 30-year-old joined Trinity from Brisbane Broncos in 2014, on an initial one-year deal, and has made 44 appearances for the Wildcats.

A number of injuries over the years have taken their toll on the prop’s body, however.

“It has been one of the hardest decisions I have ever had to make but it is the right time for me to retire,” he said.

“I have had a few injuries these past couple of years which have set me back, and it is time I listen to what my body is telling me.

“Rugby has been part of my life since I was seven years old and I haven’t really known anything else, it is going to be a big void in my life.

“I would like to say a huge thank you to Wakefield. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time here, it is a great club with some fantastic supporters and I wish them all the best for next season.

“I am looking forward to going back home and spending some time with my family and establish myself before I start looking for work.”
