Colin Nasato, the all-time most MVP'd Pro Halfling Treeman, has retired after sustaining a broken collar branch injury in Bedfordshire Clangers' 4-0 mauling at the hands of Skryre's Ratskins. The injury was the second that Colin sustained to the same branch during his career.

Local sports papers have quoted Nasato - who is also the second-brightest all-time Treeman star in Stunty Leeg - as saying "It's probably time to move on and let younger trees have a piece of the pie - and the action. It's been an honour playing for the Clangers, but I'm neither as young nor as strong as I used to be. It is time to move on."

A spokesfling for the Bedfordshire Clangers told a press conference: "We'd like to thank Colin for the all his efforts, and for foregoing his rather large portion of the post-match steak and ale pie this evening. He does, of course, leave rather large roots to be filled and our recruitment department is currently on the look-out for an up-and-coming Tree who relishes challenges and doesn't have too large an appetite."

No one is sure what Colin Nasato will do next, with the rumour mill variously linking him to a coaching role with the Clangers, charity work in poorer areas of the Moot, or the establishment of his own Bloodbowl franchise.
