GazBricks Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 Bournemouth defender Rhoys Wiggins has been forced to retire due to a serious knee problem suffered more than 18 months ago. The 30-year-old, who was on loan at Birmingham at the time of the the injury in October 2016, has undergone a series of operations but been unable to make a full recovery. "This isn't something I ever thought I would have to write at the age of 30, but due to the injury I sustained in October 2016 I am unfortunately not able to continue with the job I love to do," wrote Wiggins in an open letter to Cherries fans on the club's website. "I have been battling for the last two years, doing everything possible to get back out there, but my knee just won't allow me to do so. I know he hardly played for us and when he did he was gash but its always a shame when you see this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beauchief Owl Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 Got to feel sorry for the lad, even though we inexplicably took a 500k loss when selling him to a Premier League club that just as inexplicably wanted to sign him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
