He said: “I’ve enjoyed every minute of it. I can honestly say with my hand on my heart I’ve had the best time.
“I’ve travelled the world, won many things and played with some outstanding people. It’s been an absolute pleasure and I’m sad it’s come to end.”
Wigan executive director Kris Radlinski said: “Tony Clubb has been one of the best signings for the club in the last decade.
“Players at the club will say that he is a brilliant team-mate and the performance staff will say that he is a dream to coach. He has embraced the culture and people of our town and will continue to live here.
“I am hopeful that we will still see him on game days working in the hospitality lounges and mingling with our corporate partners. He should be proud of his achievements in the game and will always be remembered as a proper bloke.”
