Hull FC hooker Danny Houghton is to retire at the end of the season.
Danny Houghton needs to play three more games this season to move up to third in Hull FC's list of all-time appearance makersThe 35-year-old made his debut for the club in 2007 and will make his 450th appearance in Saturday's Super League game against Castleford Tigers.
"I wouldn’t change any of it for the world, I’ve had a great ride - I’ve seen some great highs, and some lows too, but I’ve got no regrets whatsoever and I’m happy with what I have achieved in my career." The club have said that Houghton, who represented England Knights but was never capped by the full side, has been offered an off-field role for next season.Danny Houghton has been such a talismanic figure for Hull FC over the past 18 years, and replacing his appetite for graft, leadership and work rate will be a major task for director of rugby Richie Myler.
The one that stands out is his 'tackle 52' on Ben Currie in the 2016 Challenge Cup final against Warrington Wolves which all but put the cup in Hull's hands and ended their Wembley curse. It was a stunning piece of defensive technique and epitomised his all-or-nothing nature.
