Kevin Brown to retire at season’s end

Kevin Brown has announced that he will retire at the end of the 2021 Super League season.

Brown, 36, has won 10 caps for England and has featured for Wigan, Huddersfield, Widnes, Warrington and Leigh before joining Salford ahead of the 2020 campaign.

The half-back has made more than 350 career appearances, and was rewarded with a 12-month testimonial by the Rugby Football League last November.

He wrote on social media: “2021 will be my last year as a pro player as I’ll retire at the end of the year.

“Thanks to everyone who has played a part in helping me since being the age of six. I wish it didn’t have to end but time slows for nobody, I’ve loved every minute!

“I’ll have some surgery Friday and be back as soon as possible to hopefully play plenty more times this season.

“Rugby league’s the best sport in the world!”
