Adelaide AFL footballer Paul Seedsman has become the latest player to concede lingering concussion symptoms have forced him to retire from the game.
Key points:
- The 31-year-old has not played since an outstanding 2021 season
- He said he had received medical advice to “cease all contact sport”
- Seedsman is the second player this week to retire because of concussion
Seedsman, 31, has barely trained and certainly not played since he was concussed during a Crows pre-season training session in late 2021.
“I just haven’t been able to do what I needed to do to be a professional sportsman,” Seedsman said as he announced he no longer believed he could play contact sport.
“I’ve got a young family. They’re the priority. I’ve got to get myself healthy so I can look after them.”
Seedsman is the second player this week to be forced into retirement because of concussion.
