Thompson to announce retirement
Filed Under Curt Hennig | Posted on April 20, 2008
Veteran Cronulla backrower Lance Thompson will announce his
retirement from the NRL today.
The former Dragons star is set to confirm he will be bringing
down the curtain on his 13-year first grade career at a press
conference at the Sharks’ headquarters at 2pm today.
The representative backrower has played just one game this
season after struggling to come back from a knee injury.
The 30-year-old was also last year diagnosed with Type One
diabetes.
Thompson made his first grade debut for the Dragons in 1995
before going on to play 201 games for St George and St George
Illawarra.
He joined Cronulla at the end of the 2005 season after an
acrimonious split with the Dragons, going on to play 36 games for
the NRL club.
