Jared Waerea-Hargreaves has announced he will retire from rugby league at the conclusion of the 2025 Super League season.
The former premiership winner is currently playing his 17th season of first-grade football and has decided it is time to hang up his boots.
Waerea-Hargreaves began his career with a brief spell at Manly before moving to the Roosters in 2010.
He went on to win three NRL grand finals and three World Club Challenge titles with the Tricolours.

He concluded his time in Bondi as the most-capped player in the club's history, featuring in 310 matches.
Waerea-Hargreaves also played 33 tests for New Zealand, with his last appearance for the Kiwis coming in 2022.
The 36-year-old made the switch to the Super League earlier this year, signing with Hull Kingston Rovers.
The prop's retirement is set to enable Hull KR to sign Tom Amone, who was recently released by the Bulldogs.
"As I reflect on my journey and 18 seasons in rugby league, I have so much gratitude for the game itself," Waerea-Hargreaves said.
"Rugby league has given me the honour of representing my country, life-long friends and memories that I'll cherish forever.
"To Manly, thank you for giving me my first opportunity as an 18-year-old. To the Roosters, my home. Thank you to Robbo [Roosters coach Trent Robinson], [Roosters chairman] Nick [Politis] and everyone who was a part of my time at the club – your support and guidance has shaped me into the player and more importantly, the man I am today.
"To my current club Hull KR, thank you for giving my family and I this opportunity. It has already exceeded all of our expectations and I am looking forward to finishing off the 2025 season with the lads.
"To the fans, I've been incredibly lucky to have been supported wherever I've played. Thank you for your support over the years.
"And finally, to my wife, kids and family. Thank you for your unwavering support every step of the way. I love you very much and look forward to our next chapter."

"On behalf of his entire Roosters family, we congratulate Jared on an incredible rugby league career.
"There’s no doubt that Jared will continue to make a positive impact until the final whistle sounds, and we wish him all the very best for the remainder of his season."
