The 28 year old says she will continue to play for her club Exeter
Ireland women's captain Nichola Fryday has announced her retirement from international rugby.
The Offaly woman represented her country 34 times and was handed the captaincy ahead of the 2022 Six Nations.
The 28 year old says she will continue to play for her club Exeter and says that huge growth still has to be made in the sport.
She turned down one of the first professional contracts offered by the IRFU last year, opting to continue playing in England.
Her predecessor as Ireland captain, Ciara Griffin, also opted to retire early from the international team, aged 27.
Fryday regrets bowing out of the international game on that low note but says she will continue playing club rugby with Exeter.
