FORMER Dragons star Hallam Amos’ career is over because of a hamstring injury – denying the Cardiff man one last appearance at Rodney Parade.
The 27-year-old from Monmouthshire announced in October that he would be hanging up his boots at the end of the season to focus on his medical career.
The Wales wing/full-back would have been guaranteed a warm reception on his return to the Dragons a week on Friday but he suffered a hamstring injury against Munster in Cork last weekend.
He will now miss Cardiff’s final three games of the campaign against Zebre, the Dragons and Benetton.
FAVOURITE: Hallam Amos scored 36 tries for the Dragons
Amos made his Dragons debut against Wasps in the Anglo-Welsh Cup when he was still at Monmouth School.
He was very briefly the youngest player to feature in regional rugby at 17 years and 28 days until 16-year-old Jack Dixon came off the bench in Wycombe.
Amos went on to make 115 appearances for the Dragons – scoring 36 tries to go second on the all-time chart behind Aled Brew – before leaving for Cardiff in 2019.
He won 25 caps for Wales and was a member of the squads at the 2015 and 2019 World Cups.
