(Reuters) -Leicester Tigers' 35-year-old former England scrumhalf Ben Youngs, the country's most-capped men's player, will retire at the end of the season, the Premiership club said on Tuesday.

Youngs, who became Leicester's youngest Premiership player aged 17 in April 2007, made his 332nd appearance for the club as a substitute in the Easter Sunday win away to Bristol Bears.
