Reds stalwart Roe retires
Posted
A shoulder injury has forced Queensland Reds forward John Roe to announce his retirement.
Roe had a shoulder reconstruction in the 2007 off-season and needed another operation during this year's Super 14 season.
He has told his team-mates that his shoulder is not responding well to treatment and he does not want to risk it during another Super 14 campaign.
The 31-year-old captained the Reds for more than two seasons and played 19 tests.
Roe played more than 100 games for Queensland.
