Sale Sharks’ long-serving prop Ross Harrison will leave the club at the end of the current Gallagher Premiership season.
The 32-year-old loosehead has played more than 300 games for his boyhood club since making his debut in 2011.
He sits in second place behind Mark Cueto in the Sharks all-time appearance list and his dedication to the club was rewarded earlier this season when he was named in the Sharks Hall of Fame.
On the international front, Ross was called up to the England squad to play the Barbarians in a non-cap game in summer 2014 and toured South Africa with England Saxons the following year.
He was invited by Eddie Jones to a training camp for the senior England squad in May 2017.
Ross said: “I’ve loved my time as a Shark and it’s really hard to accept that it’s coming to an end. I’ve played and worked with a brilliant group of players and coaches who have become some of my best mates.
“I never imagined I would get to 300 games. I was actually rejected three times as a teenager and I was planning to go to uni before it all changed.
“We had some seasoned props who all got injured at the same time and I got my chance and took it. I’ve always tried to work as hard as I could, keep myself in good shape and make sure I’m ready to play whenever I was called upon.
“I’ll always be a Sharks fan and with young props like Asher and Bevan coming through I know I’m leaving the front-row in good hands.”
