[h=1]Lewis Moody retires from rugby union with immediate effect[/h]
Former England captain and Bath flanker Lewis Moody has retired from rugby union with immediate effect.
Moody, 33, who ended his international career after the 2011 World Cup, had shoulder surgery in December.
"Totally gutted I have had to take the decision to retire from all forms of rugby," Moody wrote on his Twitter page. "I will truly miss it."
He added: "I have been very privileged to have played in some incredible teams and with some phenomenal players."
Moody lifted two Heineken Cups and seven Premiership ***les during a 14 year-spell with Leicester, before joining Bath in March 2010.
