Veteran Cronulla prop Aiden Tolman has announced his decision to retire from rugby league.The 33-year-old, who is the eldest and most experienced player in the NRL with 314 games under his belt, said he only came to the decision earlier this week.His retirement call follows the decision of teammate and fellow front-rower Andrew Fifita on Tuesday to leave the club at the end of the season.Tolman made his debut in 2008 for Melbourne and enjoyed a 10-year stint at Canterbury before linking with the Sharks in 2019."It's probably only in the last 48 hours I got that answer," Tolman said. "I want to go out here on a high note."I know the time is right and I'd much rather go out being happy and winning games."Tolman, who was born and raised on the NSW mid-north coast, said he hoped to move into a development role in country NSW.The Sharks host Tolman's old club Canterbury on Saturday as they aim to wrap up a top-two spot and secure a home semi-final.
