Former Wales captain Ryan Jones has announced his retirement on medical advice. The 34-year-old, who won 75 caps for Wales and three Grand Slam titles, had been recovering from shoulder surgery at the end of last season.
But Jones has been forced to forget about making a comeback after being told he risked further significant damage if he continued playing.
The versatile back-row forward had a year left on his contract with Bristol.
Shoulder injuries had blighted the latter stages of Jones' career, and another hefty blow in the first leg of Bristol's Championship play-off final against Worcester in May led to the latest surgery.
