The 33-year-old won three straight Grand Finals during his time with St Helens.
Hull KR full-back Lachlan Coote will retire at the end of the Betfred Super League season.
Coote will bring the curtain down on an illustrious 15-year career after winning a plethora of trophies in Australia and England.
The 33-year-old won three consecutive Super League Grand Finals after he signed for St Helens in 2019 before he moved to Hull KR last season.
"I'm happy to announce that I will be retiring at the end of the 2023 season. It has been a very tough decision to make but I know it's the right one for me and my family," Coote, who will miss the next month with a hamstring injury, said.
"There will be plenty of time to reflect on my career at the end of the season. There's still a long way to go this season, I'll be looking to make the most of every moment and finish this year with a trophy."
Hull KR head coach Willie Peters added: "Lachlan is a proven winner and a quality person. His professionalism and leadership qualities are right up there with the best. I have no doubt whatever Lachlan decides to do post-rugby, it will be a success."
