Olympic medallist Sarah Jones has announced her decision to retire her GB shirt after six years which have seen her compete at the highest level of the sport.
Having realised her long-term goal to be the first Welsh outfield athlete to represent Great Britain since 2012, Jones made her debut for Great Britain at the 2018 Hockey Champions Trophy and went on to earn 73 caps - including representing Team GB at two Olympic Games.
Whilst she is set to retire from Great Britain, Jones remains committed to playing for her home nation Wales, having already earned 115 caps and competed in three Commonwealth Games; 2014 in Glasgow, 2018 in Gold Coast and 2022 in Birmingham, and six EuroChampionships.
On her retirement from Great Britain, Jones said: “I am beyond honoured to have had the privilege to represent Great Britain over the past six years and am so very grateful to everyone who has been a part of my journey. It’s created some of the best memories and biggest challenges I’ve ever faced, and I am proud of all that we have achieved as a team. Words will never fully be able to encapsulate it, but, for now, I just want to say thank you.”
