Cronulla Sharks legend Wade Graham has announced his retirement – finishing up at the end of 2023.

The gutsy second-rower played his 250th NRL game for the Sharks just last week.

The 2016 premiership-winner told teammates at a private function to celebrate his 250 milestone.

Graham began his career as a prodigy coming through the ranks at the Penrith Panthers where he amassed 42 games between 2008 and 2010 before switching to the Shire.
