All Blacks and Hurricanes lock James Broadhurst

All Blacks and Hurricanes lock James Broadhurst has retired from rugby due to the ongoing effects of concussion.

The 29‑year‑old, who played his one test against South Africa in 2015, said it had been difficult to be advised by medical experts to walk away from the game he loved, but ultimately it was the right advice.

Broadhurst has not played rugby since suffering dual head knocks during a Mitre 10 Cup match in August 2015.
