Former Northland pivot Daniel Bowden has called time on his professional rugby career after 13 years.
Bowden made his debut for the Taniwha in 2005 as an 18-year-old, earning the player of the year award in 2007.
That season would be the last of his first stint in the Cambridge Blue, heading to Otago and then Auckland as he picked up 36 Super Rugby caps for the Highlanders, Crusaders and Blues.
Bowden announced the end of his career via Twitter.
"After 13 years the time has come to retire from professional rugby," he wrote.
