Dan Parks retires from rugby

Dan Parks has today announced his retirement from rugby.
The former Scotland fly-half, who won 67 Test caps in his time, had been released by Connacht in April
“I feel incredibly fortunate to have been able to play a sport which I love for over 11 years as a pro,” he said.
“My time in Scotland, Wales and Ireland has been the best years of my life, and I would like to thank all those who have contributed and helped me along this amazing journey.
“Of course, my highlight was being able to wear the blue of Scotland, and something I will forever treasure and hold very close to my heart.
“I plan to stay closely involved with the game, through TV, commercial work and coaching, and I am really excited about the future and continuing to be involved in the sport I am so passionate about and that has given me so much.”
