Wasps flank James Haskell will depart the club at the end of the season.

The English club chose not to extend the 32-year-old’s contract, which is set to expire at the end of the season.

Wasps director of rugby Dai Young paid tribute to Haskell.

‘Hask goes back a long way with Wasps,’ he said. ‘Since starting in the academy as a teenager he has played around 200 games, including a spell as club captain, which is a great achievement.’

Haskell, who earned 75 caps for England and played for the British & Irish Lions, said he is considering his future options.

‘I have had a fantastic career at Wasps and would like to think I have played a part in the club’s success over the years.

‘I am looking forward to the next phase of my career; I wish all the players and officials at Wasps all the best for the future and will give my usual 100% for the rest of the season.’
