Wallabies stalwart Dane Haylett-Petty has been forced to call time on his career after a lengthy battle with concussion.

A veteran of 38 Tests, 32-year-old Haylett-Petty suffered a knock in a Bledisloe Cup match against the All Blacks last year and failed to play in the 2021 Super Rugby season with the Melbourne Rebels.

The fullback had made attempts to return to top-level action, but complained of lingering symptoms such as migraines when he exerted himself.

There had been speculation he would head overseas when he went unsigned by the Rebels, but on Sunday he announced he was retiring.

“It’s not the way I wanted to finish,” Haylett-Petty posted on social media.

“I would have loved to run out just one more time, but it wasn’t to be.

“Rugby has given me so much and for that I am forever grateful. The experiences, the opportunities, the challenges, and the lifelong friendships.

“Thank you to all the teams who gave me an opportunity, and whose jerseys I wore with pride.

“I hope in the future I can repay the game for everything it’s given to me. What an amazing journey it’s been, but I am so excited to start something new.”

Haylett-Petty, who also represented Australia at rugby sevens, was awarded his first cap against England in 2016.

He would go on to score 12 tries in his 38 Tests which included the Wallabies’ 2019 World Cup campaign.

He made his Super Rugby bow for the Western Force in 2008 and enjoyed spells in Japan and France before linking with the Rebels in 2018.

Former England star leads Benetton to huge URC result over Lions

Life can unravel in an instant. For me, that moment came when deceitful cryptocurrency brokers vanished with £40,000 of my savings, a devastating blow that left me paralyzed by shame and despair. The aftermath was a fog of sleepless nights, self-doubt, and a crushing sense of betrayal. I questioned every choice, wondering how I’d fallen for such a scheme. Hope felt like a luxury I no longer deserved. Then, Tech Cyber Force Recovery emerged like a compass in a storm. Skeptical yet desperate, I reached out, half-expecting another dead end. What I found, however, was a team that radiated both expertise and empathy. From our first conversation, they treated my crisis not as a case file, but as a human tragedy. Their professionalism was matched only by their compassion, a rare combination in the often impersonal world of finance.

What happened next defied logic. Within 72 hours of sharing my story, they traced the labyrinth of blockchain transactions, outmaneuvering the scammers with surgical precision. When their email arrived, “Funds recovered, secure and intact,” I wept. It wasn’t just the money; it was the validation that justice could prevail. Tech Cyber Force Recovery didn’t just restore my finances, they resurrected my dignity. But their impact ran deeper. They demystified the recovery process, educating me without judgment. Their transparency became a lifeline, transforming my fear into understanding. Where I saw chaos, they saw patterns; where I felt powerless, they instilled agency. Today, I’m rebuilding not just my savings, but my trust in humanity. Tech Cyber Force Recovery taught me that vulnerability isn’t weakness, and that seeking help is an act of courage. To those still trapped in the aftermath of fraud: miracles exist. They wear no capes, but they wield algorithms and integrity like superheroes. To the extraordinary Tech Cyber Force Recovery team, your work is more than technical prowess. It’s alchemy, turning despair into resilience. You gave me more than my funds; you gave me my future. May your light guide countless others through their darkest nights. From the depths of my heart: Thank you.
