Gold Coast Titans prop Shannon Boyd has hung up his boots.

The 27-year-old made 126 first-grade appearances for Canberra Raiders and the Titans. He earned five caps for Australia.

Titans chief executive Steve Mitchell said: “Shannon has been frustrated by injuries preventing him from being able to deliver his best footy at the Titans, and because of that, he asked the club for a release from his contract to return home to country NSW.

“This was obviously a tough decision for Shannon, but one that he has made in the best interests of his family.

“We wish nothing but the best for Shannon and his young family, and we thank them for the contribution they have made to the Gold Coast Titans.”
