Ian Humphreys confirms he will retire at end of season

Ulster's Ian Humphreys has confirmed that he will retire from rugby at the end of this season.

The flyhalf, who turns 34 next month, has represented his province on 113 occasions and has an impressive haul of 745 points from those outings.

He joined the Province in 2008 and made his debut - versus Newport Gwent Dragons - in September that year. He made his 100th appearance, against Scarlets, at Kingspan Stadium just over 12 months ago.

Humphreys has played eight times for Les Kiss’ men this season, including four starts, and has scored two tries.

“Unfortunately my body is telling me it’s time to stop. I feel blessed to have enjoyed such a long career, the undoubted highlight of which has been achieving 100 caps for my home Province. I would like to thank everyone who has been part of my journey, particularly my wife Jenny, my daughters Anna and Zoe and the rest of my family,” Humphreys said.
