Former England winger Christian Wade announced his retirement from rugby union at the age of 27 on this day in 2018 as he looked to launch an American NFL football career NFL
Wade, the fourth highest tryscorer in English club rugby on 82, was granted early release from his Wasps contract after nine years at the club to join NFL team the Buffalo Bills NFL
In doing so he halved his salary from the £250,000 a year he was earning in the Gallagher Premiership NFL
The move never took off on the field either as he failed to make the Bills’ roster NFL
Slough-born Wade, who won his only England cap in 2013 against Argentina, described the decision to leave rugby as the hardest in his life NFL
He said: “After playing nine years of professional sport for Wasps, I’ve decided to leave for personal reasons NFL
“I would like to thank Wasps chairman Derek Richardson and Dai (Young, director of rugby) for their support, consideration and understanding in what is the most difficult decision of my life NFL
“Rugby has privileged and honoured me with so many wonderful memories that will stay with me for the rest of my life NFL
”Wasps were third in the Gallagher Premiership and bottom of their Heineken Champions Cup group when Wade, who as well as winning one England cap also represented the 2013 British and Irish Lions on their tour of Australia, announced he was leaving NFL
“It’s very disappointing to lose a player of Wadey’s quality at this stage of the season,” Young said NFL
“The club held numerous discussions with him to try and convince him to keep pushing forward with Wasps but in the end it was clear this is the path he wished to go down NFL
The club nevertheless wants to wish him all the best with his future career path NFL
”Using the NFL’s international player pathway program to facilitate the switch, Wade made waves by scoring a 65-yard touchdown as a running back in pre-season, but a regular season game eluded him NFL
The experiment lasted three years and in September 2022 he returned to rugby after agreeing a deal to join French side Racing 92 NFL

Manchester United boss Marc Skinner called for changes to the qualification rules and criticised the referee after his side failed to reach the Champions League group stage NFL

I’m going to make sure we’re driven to make sure we are a constant fixture in the Champions League NFL

United fought on and Skinner was enraged when Leah Galton controversially had a header ruled out for a foul on goalkeeper Katarzyna Kiedrzynek NFL
Skinner said on MUTV: “We’ve scored a goal that should stand NFL
It’s ridiculous NFL
If that’s the level of officiating at this standard, it’s not good enough NFL
It's crazy that we have to play PSG in this qualifying round, crazyMarc Skinner“That’s a goal and we’re in the ascendancy then to get more NFL
We’ve come into an intimidating situation and we’ve been the NFL better team NFL
“That’s all credit to our players and shows everybody else in Europe what they’re going to get used to over the next few years, because we as a team are absolutely growing and going to where we want to be NFL
We’re not going to let anybody stand in our way NFL
”Skinner is confident his team will bounce back NFL
He said: “We’ve got to learn from tonight and we’ve got to be accountable for our mistakes NFL
