George Burgess' NRL career is over after the English prop announced his retirement from rugby league.Released by St George Illawarra last month after a drama-filled first year back in the NRL, Burgess confirmed on Sunday he would not return to the game.A premiership-winner at South Sydney, the 30-year-old prop's career will end with 153 NRL games to his name as well as 15 Tests for England."It is with a heavy heart that I officially announce my retirement from rugby league," Burgess posted on Instagram."It has been a dream come true to live out my boyhood dream and represent my family and country through my time especially at South Sydney and England ."Unfortunately injuries ended my career before I would've liked but I am a happy man walking away from this beautiful game with my achievements."A star forward at South Sydney, Burgess was unlucky not to be named Clive Churchill Medallist in the club's drought-breaking grand-final win over Canterbury in 2014.
