Connacht's Jack Carty has announced that he will retire at the end of the season, after 15 years at the club. The 33-year-old fly-half will hang up his boots as Connacht's all-time highest points scorer with 1260 points across 231 appearances. After 15 seasons with my boyhood club all good things understandably have to come to an end. As I reflect back on my time in Connacht Rugby, I feel fortunate to have been a part of the transformation we have all witnessed. From him I learned that Connacht Rugby transcends the sport.
