Not much of a shock but he's confirmed to Wish FM that this season will be his last.

Shame, but as you say, not a shock. Wish him luck in his future and new career, he's been a great player for us.

Good luck Coles. Fingers crossed you go out with both a 2011 CC and GF winners medals.

Wish FM reporter Kelly O'Donnell: Coley made the decision to retire a couple of wks ago, telling me "Its been tough but Im doing it on my own terms"

Was a little gutted to hear this but as you say no surprise. I do think that this year has been a good your for him and think that he will be missed done a job in the absence of Feilden.

One of the most under rated signings of the SL Era. I think hes retiring at the right time though. Hopefully go out on a high.

He's been a great signing for us and still has a big role to play. www.sportinglife.com/rugbyleague ... ml&BID=480 "is to return to his old job as a quantity surveyor but hopes to retain an involvement with the club"

Great that a player is able to do that instead of dragging out every last ounce of his career. Decent job to go to as well. Been a good SL player for many years.

Good on him. He's had a good career at Wigan and before that Salford. He showed great loyalty to Salford when he turned down Wigan 3 years before finally signing (which is why I found the reaction of the Salford fans strange to say the least when he did finally join).

We can hopefully send him along with Maguire and The Hoff out on a real high with a winners medal or 3 tucked away.

Sounds very much like a certain Shaun Wane. Coached the kids at the club whilst having a full-time job.

Hopefully, things might go in a similar dircetion for Andy.

Very well spoken, intelligent guy, who should do well if he wants to carve a coaching career (even if it would need to be a part-time one - at least initially)

Good luck Andy in whatever you choose to do.

Good call, thanks for all the memories Andy, hope you go out with a bang! Big chance for Lee Mossop to step up and will help O'Carroll, Davies, Hughes and Crosby get a bit more game time

Great effort from Coles in his years at our club.. been a great asset.
