    Jason Nightingale accepts he has always been one of the more unusual wingers in the NRL

    Jason Nightingale accepts he has always been one of the more unusual wingers in the NRL

    - article from www.rugbyleague.co.nz

    He will retire from rugby league at the end of the season, having played more
    than 250 games for the St George Illawarra Dragons and 33 tests for the Kiwis.

    Nightingale describes his style as awkward and ungainly, and says teammates
    have poked lots of fun at him over the years.

    He says he had to embrace the style as he believes he would have set himself
    up for failure if he didn't.

    Jason Nightingale will now focus on running the Elite Athlete Business
    School, which he helped establish in 2014.
