Senter announces retirement: official statement
5 August 2004
Wests Tigers captain Darren Senter today announced his retirement from the game at the end of the season.
After 10 years and more than 200 games with Wests Tigers and Balmain Tigers, Senter has decided it is time to hang up his boots.
Football has been a huge part of my life, and Im going to miss it, but its time to take the next step. Im looking forward to more time with my family and taking on a new challenge, he said.
At this stage, I am in discussion with the club regarding my after footy career and am very excited about the new challenges that may be available for me. Remaining with the club is important to me as its been part of my life for so long.
During Senters career with Wests Tigers he has represented City Origin twice (1997,2002), and was part of the 2004 winning World 7s Side.
Darrens contribution to the club has been invaluable, both on and off the field. It is rare to see players stay with one club for so long, but Darrens leadership, determination and attitude have made him one of the greats of the game and this club, CEO Stephen Noyce said.
Senter is one of the few remaining players still with the club since the joint venture took place five years ago.
Seeing the two clubs evolve into one was certainly an interesting time, and while it has been a challenge I wouldnt have changed a thing, Senter said.
Im now looking forward to playing out the season and saying farewell to all the loyal and dedicated fans who have supported me throughout my career.
Hopefully I can play a role in the club achieving their first ever final series appearance.
It's been good darren..
through the good times and bad, you shown the heart to lead us and inspire alot of young juniors at the club

Even though I was expecting this, I'll miss watching Daz play. Good luck for the future, after the Tigers nail a possy in the top 8
