Jump jockey Adrian Heskin has announced his retirement from race-riding.

Heskin achieved his first Cheltenham Festival success aboard A New Story in the Glenfarclas Handicap Cross Country Chase in 2010 and is probably best known for his association with prolific owner Max McNeill. Together, the pair achieved Grade 1 success with The World's End in the Grade 1 Sefton Novices' Hurdle in 2017.

In a statement on X, Heskin said: "After fifteen years race riding I've decided to call an end to my career. I'm very proud of my career and achieved far more than I  hold have imagined as a kid. I rode for the best trainers on both sides of the Irish Sea and some fantastic owners along the way. Of course some amazing horses too. My love for horses is stronger than ever and I owe everything I have to them. Here's to the future."
