Prop Denis Buckley has confirmed he will leave Connacht at the end of the season, bringing an end to a 17-year association with his home province.
With 275 appearances to his name since making his debut in 2011, the 35-year-old is Connacht's second most capped player behind John Muldoon's 327.
A member of the Connacht squad that won the Guinness Pro12 in 2016, he made his 100th appearance later that year and was twice named in the Pro14/URC Team of the Season.
The Roscommon native has yet to confirm his next career move.
"After 17 incredible years, the time has come for me to move on from Connacht Rugby," Buckley said in a statement.
"It’s hard to put into words what this place has meant to me. From pulling on the jersey for my first cap against Treviso in 2011 or to reaching 275 caps and becoming the second most capped player in the club’s history, every moment has been a privilege.
"As for what’s next, I’m still exploring potential opportunities and I’ll make an announcement on my future in the coming weeks. Whatever happens, I’ll always look back on my time here with huge pride and gratitude."
Head coach Stuart Lancaster paid tribute to the longevity of Buckley’s career.
"In the short time I have worked with Denis I have been very impressed by his enduring professionalism, and his qualities as a loosehead prop," he said.
"To play 275 times for your home province is an incredible achievement, and a rare quality in professional rugby these days. It speaks volumes of his character and commitment to rugby in the west of Ireland."
