Praise from all corners as Wales legend James Hook ends outstanding career

Players from past and present have paid tribute to Wales’ James Hook, after his professional career came to an end this week.

Social media has been littered with paeans of praise after the 34-year-old announced yesterday that his Ospreys contract has officially expired, which brings his career to a close.

Although his retirement at the end of the season had already been announced, the suspension of rugby as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic meant his last appearance for the region was a 21-13 loss to Leinster in Neath in February.

In these unique circumstances, Hook said: “I was hoping to finish off with a few more appearances but unfortunately, for obvious reasons, I wasn't able to do that.”
