TOM GUEST has joined London Irish team-mate Andrew Fenby in announcing his retirement from professional rugby.
The back-row, 31, has been with the club since 2014, making the switch from Harlequins, where he was a European Rugby Challenge Cup, Aviva Premiership and LV=Cup winner.
Guest followed up the 200 appearances he made for the Twickenham Stoop outfit with 30 for the Exiles, scoring three tries.

And like Fenby, who has quit the game to pursue a career in accountancy, the player admitted the decision to call it a day was a tough one to make.
“There are a lot of experiences that will long live in the memory, and I am grateful to have played rugby at the highest level for many years, ” said Guest, who has also represented England Saxons.
“I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my time with London Irish during my two years with the club – it is a club that is steeped in history and tradition and I am sure it is only a matter of time before Irish realise its ambitions.”
Glenn Delaney, head of rugby operations at Irish, added: “I speak on behalf of everyone at the club in wishing Tom and his family all the very best for the future.
“Tom has had a magnificent playing career, a career that he should be hugely proud of and we have enjoyed having him at the club.”
