A massive thankyou to the public & fans for all the support over years. To my many teammates, thanks for the lessons & help along the way. It wasn’t a perfect journey,
but the lessons have helped shape me into the man I’m proud to be off the field today. #AlwaysAlhamdullilah ??❤️ pic.twitter.com/aECnrTYCJs— Sonny Bill Williams (@SonnyBWilliams) March 11, 2021
