POPULAR Sea Eagles winger Mitch Creary has hung up his flying boots to concentrate on his promising business career.
Creary made the switch from rugby to rugby league without any problems and was a real personality over the past four seasons.
He mixed his appearances between the Premier League and the NRL and always gave 100 per cent.
Over the past two seasons Creary returned to the workforce and mixed his football with business.
Remarkably he played some of his best football during this period.
Creary said he had to think long and hard about giving the game away.
``I absolutely love the game and Manly but I have a young family now and it is imperative that I concentrate on business and them.
``My time with Manly has been some thing I won't forget and the organisation throughout from the administration through to the coaching staff is highly professional - they deserve the success which is just around the corner and I will be cheering them on from the stands,'' Creary said.
Hasler said he was sorry to see Creary retire.
``Mitch Creary was always an option for us and I had no hesitation in selecting him in any game - you know what you are going to get every time you choose him. He is a terrific person and clubman,'' Hasler said.
Sad to see him go, I thought he hadn't been given enough 1st grade time and did quite well. Good luck to him, he will probably return to rah rah!
