GARRY Atkins may hang up his boots for the final time after suffering his second injury in successive weeks.

The York Wasps player-coach sustained deep bruising to his back in last week's defeat by Hull KR which rules him out of tomorrow's trip to Featherstone's Lionheart Stadium.

It came just a week after taking a knock to the head in the victory at Batley which forced him off the field.Atkins, who has made just six appearances this season, is now considering retiring for the third time.

"Someone's maybe telling me to retire," said the 33-year-old. "I might have one game left in me. We'll just have to wait and see."
