Last updated on .From the section Rugby Union
Bath centre Ben Williams has been forced to retire from rugby because of an ongoing shoulder injury.
Williams did not feature in the 2014-15 campaign following an injury sustained in a pre-season match against Scarlets.
The 26-year-old, who joined Bath in 2007, represented England Under-16s and U18s - and made 37 career appearances for the club, scoring five tries.
"I've done everything in my power to get back to full fitness," said Williams.
"There comes a point when you realise you need to do what's best for your wellbeing.
"I'd like to thank everybody involved with the club - the medical staff, who have been brilliant with me in my time here, my team-mates, my coaches and, of course, our great supporters."
