England winger Jermaine McGillvary has announced his retirement from international rugby league with immediate effect.
The Huddersfield Giants star turned 34 last month but was a part of national boss Shaun Wane’s latest squad and has been in excellent form in Betfred Super League. Many people expected McGillvary to push hard for a place at the World Cup at the end of this season but he has now called time on a fine Test career.
A latecomer to the international scene, he did not debut with England until facing New Zealand at the age of 27 in 2015. But the powerful wideman went on to represent his country with distinction, scoring 12 tries in 17 appearances before adding another four caps with Great Britain in 2019. However, it was the 2017 World Cup where McGillvary came of age with a brilliant tournament Down Under.
