Kiwis star Kieran Foran's career could be coming to an end with a report out of Sydney suggesting the Bulldogs are secretly trying to retire the battered playmaker on medical grounds.
The Bulldogs halfback is expected to miss New Zealand's upcoming test against England in Denver as he faces at least a month out with a toe injury.
The former Manly premiership winner has also struggled with long-term neck and shoulder problems and has battled to regain full fitness after copping years of punishment from carrying the ball deep into the defensive line.
The 27-year-old joined Canterbury this season on a three-year deal worth around $1 million a season after injuries and personal issues impacted on his short-lived stint at the Warriors last year.
Nine.com.au report the Bulldogs are eager to clear Foran from their playing roster, as he has battled for form with the Dean Pay coached side wallowing in 15th spot with just three wins so far this season.
