Former Wigan and Hull FC player Chris Tuson admits he found it difficult to adapt to the change of circumstances in his life when injury forced him to retire at 26.

In this interview with Wigan Today, Chris discusses his transition journey and share some advice on what players need to do to make a smooth move into working life at the end of their playing career.
