Pat Kay Retires

Pat Kay made a brief announcement on social media about his retirement from rugby. We understand he will focus on a career moving forward. We wish him all the best in his new endeavour.

I have made the decision to hang my boots up and retire from this sport. Looking back on my time playing rugby for Canada, I can only smile and feel proud of what I’ve done alongside my teammates.

The past decade I’ve spent immersed in a professional sports environment has gone by in an instance, but it has left me with countless memories which I will reflect on for the rest of my life.

Thank you to everyone who has impacted my career in some way; coaches, teammates, opponents, friends and family.
