Huxley kisses rugby goodbye
Posted 10 hours 9 minutes ago
Brumbies and Wallabies full-back Julian Huxley has conceded his rugby career is over after being diagnosed with a brain tumour.
The 28-year-old has discussed the situation with medical specialists and has been advised not to return to contact sport.
The benign tumour was discovered a fortnight ago when Huxley underwent scans for concussion.
He is due to have surgery next month.
Huxley says he has dealt with the realities of his sporting career and is confident of making a full recovery.
"Initially [after] the shock of having a tumour, [I was] hoping that it wasn't my final stop for a while," he said.
"It's looking more positive, but now I'm realising it's probably not possible for me to go back to rugby."

From me personally; Good luck Julian Huxley, what a loss to Rugby but hopefully you can make as big an impact in whatever you choose to do next.
