Rob Keogh has called time on his professional career after 16 years with Northamptonshire.
The fan favourite has made the decision to retire after seeking advice and support from medical specialists for a lower back issue.
One of the rare one-club cricketers in the modern game, the boy from a state school in Dunstable passed 10,000 all-format runs for Northamptonshire last year. His final tally of 10,140 has been exceeded by only 30 players in the club's history, while his 21 centuries for Northamptonshire across all formats put him level with Raman Subba Row on the all-time list.
His performance at 2016 T20 Finals Day will live long in the memory. He took stunning catches at pivotal moments in both the semi-final and final and played a vital cameo after a mini Steelbacks batting collapse to see his side over the line in the final.
