Former London Broncos hooker Chad Randall has announced his retirement from rugby league after failing to secure a new contract.

The 32-year-old, who made 197 appearances for the club, had not featured since June because of a hamstring injury.

"At the start of the year we were definitely talking about doing another year, but then my injury came and the club told me they didn't want me," the Australian forward told reporters.

"If there were another five games in the season I probably could have played.

"I feel I have been a good servant to the club and I am a loyal guy so I am happy about that. I'll always look back on my time with fond memories."

Randall joined London from NRL side Manly Sea Eagles in 2005.
