Jones, 35, has played over 170 matches for the men of Gwent and made his debut for the Dragons against the Ospreys in 2003.
Steve commented, “I am devastated with the news and the fact that I will never put my boots on and run onto Rodney Parade with my team mates again.”
“I have been fortunate to play and work with some great players and coaches spanning 10 years since the inception of the Dragons, many of these players and coaches I am grateful to be able to call close friends.”
“I would like to thank everyone at Rodney Parade, who have made my time such an enjoyable experience and helping me to further my rugby career.”
“I would also like to thank the fans for all of their support over the years, even though I come from the Ospreys region.”
“I feel that a new chapter in my life awaits my family and I, and if the next 10 years are as good as the last you won’t hear me complaining.”
