Injury forced Robinson to retire

The 23-year-old had surgery after a heavy collision in a Pro12 game in March 2015 forced two discs in his back to protrude onto his spinal cord. Although he did manage a comeback following rehabilitation but that process has now been deemed too much with immediate retirement the only option.

Robinson joined the Scarlets in 2014 from Cardiff Blues. He has made 30 Scarlets appearances, scoring nine tries in his debut season claiming the region's top try scorer accolade.

A Wales Under-20 international and former member of Wales Sevens squad, Robinson was called into the Wales senior squad for the training camp in Poland in January 2012 ahead of the Six Nations Championship the same year.

Robinson won three international caps scoring two tries; he scored his first international try in his debut match against Barbarians at the Millennium Stadium.

His debut regional try came in his first competitive appearance against Ulster in September 2014. He played his last game for the Scarlets in December 2015 taking on Glasgow Warriors in the European Rugby Champions Cup at Scotstoun Stadium.

The young wing's sudden retirement has left the club and the supporters with great sadness.

Scarlets General Manager of Rugby, Jon Daniels said: "It is with great sadness that we as a region have to confirm Harry's retirement from rugby. He's a talented young player who had a bright rugby future ahead of him.

"It has been a difficult time for Harry as he has worked exceptionally hard to make a full recovery. I am sure the qualities that got him to the top of the rugby tree in Wales will stand him in good stead in his future career. On behalf of the Board and everyone here at the Scarlets I would like to wish him the very best in the future,"
