Tex Walker, 29, has stepped down as Adelaide Crows captain after five seasons in the role.
He told the club’s website:
“It has been a great privilege to lead this Club for the last five years, through some great times and some very sad and challenging times,” Walker said.
“It has made me realise what’s really important in my life – family, mateship and making the most of the time we have in the game we all love.
“The role has helped me grow, mature, learn and seek to understand others’ views but most of all I’ve enjoyed the challenge of leading this football club.”
