St Helens back-row forward Chris Flannery is set to call it a day at the end of the season.
The former Queensland Origin player is out of contract with Saints at the end of the year and is planning on returning Down Under.
"I think this will be my last year," he said. "We're going to go back to Australia after this. We've been over here for four and a half, nearly five years now.
"We've got a couple of young kids so it's time to get back to Australia.
"Hopefully, I'll have a big year this year and finish it off in the right fashion."
However the tough-tackling forward, who won the 2002 NRL Premiership with Sydney Roosters, is unlikely to seek a new club when he returns home.
"I think I'll hang the boots up," he said. "I'll go back and get some of that sunshine, to the house on the beach and do a bit of surfing. I'm looking forward to it."
