Former Ireland flyhalf Ian Madigan has called time on his rugby career after 14 years as a professional.
Madigan, who began his Leinster journey in 2009, accumulated an impressive total of 147 appearances for his hometown team, during which he contributed 827 points.
Madigan's rugby career then led him to Bordeaux for a single season in 2016, where he became one of Irish rugby's highest-paid players before he made the transition to the Bristol Bears, where he featured in 50 matches between 2017 and 2020.
In the 2008/09 season, he represented Ireland U-20s, before making his senior international debut for Ireland in 2013.
Throughout his time wearing the green jersey, he earned 31 international caps and notched up 121 points, establishing himself as a central player in the 2015 Rugby World Cup squad. In total, he was capped 32 times by Ireland.
In 2020, Madigan returned to Ireland, this time joining Ulster.
Madigan, who is pursuing a career in the data privacy sector, confirmed the news on social media.

You are not right, I don't know any other way to say it.
I understand you'd like to believe that the SA D system has found been somehow 'found out' and its weaknesses exposed.
It suits your agenda that it is only a matter of time before the ABs reclaim their rightful spot at the head of the world game [in all aspects].
It warps your judgment but I say, that's okay.😁
Go to commentsCL Ben targets you guys but never shows the respect you deserve because he gets paid for it! 🥲 True AB supporters will show our support always because of the incredible longevity of our mutual rugby history together as Jen alludes to below. I fondly remember hours spent in early mornings shared with Dad and my brothers in the middle of last century nothing with more than a crackling radio to share commentaries from Jo'burg or Capetown say the same as you guys would do when you Boks came to NZ on long tours with vivid memories without visuals on TV either ...WIN OR LOSE! 😍 but still keeping scores lol that's where respect was born! 😎
