Sad news. very talented centre, and a thoroughly decent bloke by all accounts...

All the very best for the future Darrell

This news is dreadful. 27 is no age for someone of his class and ability to retire. He has made absolutely the right decision and I hope he makes a successful next career move. Enjoyed watching him set up Ken Sio for at least 4 tries early doors.

Not only have we been unlucky with injuries this year, but 2 enforced and premature retirements to our starting 13 is a real choker. We are really due some better fortune on this front.

Yes we are due some better fortune lets hope it will not be long now, sorry for him he was good lets hope we get some one has good or better

Really bad news for a young player. Hopefully his health will get back to normal

Health comes first. Good luck son

Awful news, really feel for him and other players that have to leave the sport early. Although he only played 8 or so games for us, I thought he was a great addition and made a real difference. A massive loss for the club, but more importantly he has to think of himself and his family.

Sadly, he never got the chance to show his best for us, but his talent was obvious. He was a very good provider for his wingers and vastly underrated.

Really sad news he could of gone on to be our right edge centre for the next 5 years, no coincidence charnley finished top scorer in the league playing outside of him and up until Darrell came out of our side sio was joint top scorer, wish him all the best in what ever he does in the future

Was really pleased when we signed Darrell. Thought we'd stolen one of the best centres in the comp. Old-school centre who wingers dream of playing outside. Charnley got 40 tries one season and Goulding gave every assist in the book. Can't coach kids the skills he had.
Gutted for him.
Good luck with whatever you do. Hope Rovers find a coaching role for him. Seems an intelligent man.

Spot on summary BF. Listening to his interview today on Hull KR TV he seems to have developed a real affinity with the club in such a short time. I expect he will reappear in some capacity for us in the coming years on the coaching / player development staff with one of those fancy new job titles they use nowadays.

A real shame for both club and player. I've always rated him and was really looking forward to seeing him develop into one of the best centres I've seen at Rovers, I rated him that highly really! Not far off international quality.

Daz made so many of Josh Charnley's tries by being able to get the ball out in heavy traffic. He was still doing it for Sio at your place earlier this season.

It isn't true that Wigan didn't want him. He chose to go to Hull KR after getting a really good deal. In a salary capped sport Wigan weren't able to pay him his true worth. I think it would have been a good move for Hull KR and for Daz but for injury.

I will remember him for his Grand Final tries against Saints and Wire and his retirement is a timely reminder of what these guys go through for our entertainment.

Gutted for him and gutted for us.
