Lachlan Croker retires at 28 due to repeated concussions impacting his NRL career.
Manly's Lachlan Croker has become the latest NRL player forced into premature retirement by concussion.
The 28-year-old hooker sat out the back half of the 2025 season after suffering a head knock at training in June, having missed time early in the year following knee surgery.
Croker missed three months of the 2024 season after suffering lingering symptoms from another head knock in round nine of that year as well.
