Saracens prop Bryony Cleall has announced she will retire after Saturday’s Premiership Women’s Rugby Cup final against her former club Harlequins at StoneX Stadium.
Cleall, 33, won two Six Nations titles with England and two league titles with Sarries.
“After an incredible 27 years, with a fair few injuries along the way, the time has come to hang up the boots and step away from playing the game I have loved since I was six years old,” she told Saracens’ website, external.
“To finish my career by running out at the StoneX one last time, in a final against Harlequins no less, could not have been scripted any better. And to have found my way home to the club makes it even more special.”
Cleall spent five years with Saracens, where she won two Premiership Women’s Rugby titles, before joining Wasps in 2021.
She moved to Harlequins in 2022, where she played for two seasons, before returning to Saracens in March last year and winning the PWR Cup.
Sarries also reached the league final last season and were beaten by Gloucester-Hartpury at StoneX.
Cleall has been named on the bench for Saturday’s final.
