Melbourne Football Club forward Shane McAdam has informed the club of his decision to retire from AFL football.
McAdam will return home to Western Australia to be closer to his family as he begins the next chapter of his journey.
General Manager of AFL Football Performance Alan Richardson thanked McAdam for his contribution to the club and wished him all the best for the future.
“Shane has been a valued member of our club and we fully support his decision to return home to his family,” Richardson said.
“Unfortunately, Shane has battled injuries during his time at the club, which has made it difficult for him to contribute out on the field the way he would have liked.
“On behalf of everyone at the Melbourne Football Club, we thank Shane for his contribution and wish him and his family all the very best for the future."
McAdam played 53 AFL matches across his career which included time initially with the Adelaide Football Club before finishing his journey with the Demons.
