FORMER England playmaker Billy Twelvetrees has retired at the age of 35 after helping Ealing Trail-finders lift the Championship crown.
The Gloucester legend played at centre and flyhalf and earned 22 caps, his last coming in 2015.
“Although we only had Billy with us for a year, he made a big impact on our squad. His career speaks for itself and he can be incredibly proud of all that he has achieved,” Ealing director of rugby Bill Ward said.
“We will miss him as a player, but more than that he is one of the good guys and a really good bloke.”
Twelvetrees began his career with Bedford before joining Leicester in 2009, where he won the Premiership in his first season.
He moved to Gloucester in 2012 and made 273 appearances in an 11-year career with the Cherry and Whites, captaining the side to the 2014-15 European Challenge Cup title.
