Jonathan Davies has announced he will retire from BBC rugby broadcasting and punditry after the 2027 Six Nations, bringing an end to a remarkable 30-year career with the corporation.

Jonathan Davies has revealed he'll be stepping away from rugby broadcasting and punditry with the BBC following the forthcoming Six Nations.

The former dual-code legend has been with the broadcaster for nearly 30 years, and was equally iconic on the pitch, initially making his mark as an elusive, goal-kicking union fly-half for Neath and Llanelli.

Jiffy made his Wales debut in 1985 and was the creative spark behind their 1988 Triple Crown triumph. A year later, he made the switch to league with Widnes, where he claimed the 1989 World Club Challenge.

He subsequently shone for Warrington, securing a Man of Steel award in 1994 and leading both Wales and Great Britain in the 13-man game.

Jiffy returned to union to conclude his playing days with Cardiff RFC and during an illustrious spell on the field, he collected 37 union caps for his country. He skippered his nation in both codes.

In 1997, the BBC took a gamble and Jiffy transitioned into the commentary box and studio. He hasn't looked back since. But after years at the microphone, he confirms this forthcoming Six Nations in spring 2027 will be his final tournament.

"I have honestly not been told to head towards that door," 64-year-old Davies told The Telegraph. "This is my decision. I am rubbish with facts and stats, but I've been doing the Six Nations since it was Five and have enjoyed the ride. It's the moment to get out of the chair."

Jiffy covers both rugby union and rugby league for the BBC in English and Welsh. Since 2004, he's hosted the Welsh-language rugby chat show Jonathan on S4C.

His charitable endeavours have further cemented his place in the hearts of the Welsh public. He has raised funds for Cardiff's Velindre Cancer Centre for decades through sponsored bike rides, treks and numerous events.

Jiffy lost his first wife, Karen, to cancer in 1997. In 1995, he was awarded an MBE for his services to rugby league. He was upgraded to OBE in 2015 for charitable services to people with cancer.

In this year's New Year Honours, he was elevated to CBE for services to broadcasting and to people with cancer.

He added: "The first meant a lot, but obviously the last two are more important. Those honours were for the whole team at Velindre who are fantastic and helped my family no end.

"You look at someone like Sir Kev [Sinfield] and everything he's done for MND since his mate Rob [Burrow] was diagnosed with it and died and it humbles you. I've lost a few guys I played with to MND and it is worrying.

"But rugby, whichever code, always comes together and that's what I love about sport. It's given me so much, but yes, it is time to hang the mic up next to those boots."
