After 193 appearances and 37 tries, Zimbabwean-born Don Armand is now calling time on his nine-year stint at Sandy Park at the end of the current season and will focus his attentions on family life and business matters away from the club.
The 33 year old forward came to Devon back in 2013 from the DHL Stormers. He has since established himself as one of the club's modern-day legends, helping them to both domestic and European glory.
The England International says he’s had a while to think about leaving because it wasn't an easy decision. “I know this is the right thing for me and my family. Bringing to an end a lifetime of rugby, it does fill me with sadness, but equally I go away with so many happy memories.
A future away from rugby, however, is still two months away and although a wrist injury means Armand won't get the chance to pull on an Exeter jersey again in a competitive match, that's not stopping him from playing his part in what should be an exciting conclusion to the current campaign.
