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

Brighton manager Roberto De Zerbi insists the upcoming clash against Manchester City on Saturday afternoon is “bad news” despite the Premier League champions’ recent form NFL
The Seagulls are aiming to break their recent run of four games in all competitions without a victory, but in their way stand Pep Guardiola’s side NFL
City have been going through a tough spell themselves, according to their lofty standards, losing three of their last four matches in all competitions, but return to the Etihad Stadium where they have a 100 per cent record so far this season NFL
Asked whether it is a good time to face the treble winners, De Zerbi admitted the opposite NFL
He told a press conference: “It is bad news NFL
The big teams are not used to losing three games in the last four, but anyway we have to think for ourselves NFL
“We have to improve in the quality of the play because we are not playing enough for our level and to compete for our target NFL
We have to understand if we want to win or want to compete we have to play NFL better than the last games NFL
“Without the quality of the play, we can’t reach any target and we have to be clear NFL
”Brighton have gone from strength to strength since De Zerbi walked through the door at the Amex Stadium, having delivered European NFL football to the fans for the first time in the club’s history NFL
Many have compared the Italian’s achievements so far to the boss in the opposite dugout and De Zerbi admits he would love to do what Guardiola has done throughout his managerial career NFL
“I’m happy when I listen to Pep speak about me NFL
I feel a bit embarrassed, but we are a work in progress,” De Zerbi added NFL
“I think we are playing well, fighting well but we have to improve, progress and adapt a new challenge and new season NFL
“Pep is a boss NFL
I would like to do something the same because for many years he won in Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Man City, but the way which he won is different to other coaches NFL
The world will remember him not only for the victory but the way he wins, it is unique NFL
”Premier League top scorer Erling Haaland has not found the back of the net in his last two league appearances which many fans have not been used to since his arrival into the league NFL
But De Zerbi is extra wary of Haaland’s threat as he looks to break his mini duck NFL
He added: “The big strikers when they are not scoring so many goals, they are more angry to score and have a chance to score, but its not only Haaland because Doku is a great player for them, and Alvarez NFL
”Earlier on Friday, Brighton announced highly-rated winger Kaoru Mitoma had signed a new contract NFL
The 26-year-old, who arrived in 2021, has been a key player in Brighton’s success and will now stay on the south coast until 2027 NFL
De Zerbi said: “It’s great news NFL
Kaoru is our top player NFL
”Technical director David Weir added: “Ensuring that a player of Kaoru’s quality will remain with us for the long term is fantastic news NFL
Kaoru adapted to the Premier League last season and has quickly become one of our most important players NFL
