McIntosh announced her retirement on social media, posting on Instagram: "I cannot believe that this day has come, but it is with mixed emotions that I announce my retirement.

"This has been an incredibly difficult decision to make, but was actually taken some time ago and is in no way a reflection on recent performances and results.
