Former Dragons wing Ashton Hewitt has retired from professional rugby.<\/b><\/p>\n
The 30-year-old left Dragons at the end of the 2024-25 season after making 131 appearances.<\/p>\n
A product of the Dragons academy system, Hewitt made his debut in 2013 and is second in the side’s try-scoring charts with 37 tries.<\/p>\n
“It is retirement for me, I have been tempted a couple of times and I am definitely deep into the transition now,” Hewitt told the Scrum V Warm-Up<\/a> programme.<\/p>\n Hewitt, a former chair of the Welsh Rugby Players Association (WRPA), has set up a consultancy firm, specialising working with firms in diversity and inclusion issues.<\/p>\n “I have always had stuff aside from rugby, whether it be studying straight from school where I did my degree and my masters,” said Hewitt.<\/p>\n “The WRPA kept me busy and I learned a few things from that. I always needed something to stimulate me away from the pitch.”<\/p>\n Watch Scrum V: The Warm Up on BBC Two Wales on Thursday, 9 October at 19:00 BST or BBC iPlayer.
