Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs’ veteran playmaker, Josh Reynolds has today announced his retirement from professional rugby league.
The 34-year-old broke the news to teammates today, announcing his last match will take place at Belmore Sports Ground this Saturday afternoon.
Fans will have one last chance to bid their beloved ‘Prince of Belmore’ farewell this weekend when the local junior runs out for his last and final game of rugby league playing for the Bulldogs NSW Cup team against the North Sydney Bears.

In scenes that will beckon memories of his 2017 farewell celebrations, the Club has announced that they will once again re-name the hill at Belmore ‘Josh Reynolds Hill’ for the coming Saturday’s home-ground double-header to mark Grub’s final farewell.
Many of those same fans that hoisted Reynolds onto their shoulders at the same ground back in 2017 after a dramatic 20-18 win over Newcastle, will be on hand again as he makes his final-ever rugby league appearance.
The Club will recognise him on match day and cheers of ‘Reynolds’ are sure to echo throughout the 17,000+ sell-out crowd that is expected to pack out Belmore Sports Ground for the Round 20 match.
Reynolds will pull on the Bulldogs jersey for the last time this Saturday, July 15 kicking off at 12:40pm.
The five-eighth will appear before media today at 1pm AEST.
