Footy Recruits has a section devoted to ex-AFL Players
Every year, one in five AFL players either retires or is delisted.
With around 130 players retiring from senior AFL rank each year, there's a ready-made list of talent that can enhance lower-tier competitions across the country.

Clubs are always looking for high calibre players.
Many players who have competed at the top level still wish to play when their AFL career comes to a close.
Many will play at a local level and Footy Recruits provides them with an opportunity to place themselves on the market and guage interest from clubs looking for players of their calibre.

Extend your footy career.
Ex-AFL players don't have to sit back and wait for offers.

You can be proactive by sending your profile, requirements and remuneration needs to as many clubs as you see fit.
Some clubs could also throw in accommodation and employment opportunities as part of the deal.

Footy Recruits gives retiring players a new way of extending and controlling their careers.

Be your own agent.
Ex-AFL players can negotiate with many clubs at a time, without any face to face pressure. Decide what you want and let the clubs know.

Refine your search for clubs.
Ex-AFL players can search for the clubs that would suit their needs by post code, state, town, city, club or by league.
(You can also check out the clubs by visiting our Club Websites page).

AFLPA'S General Manager of Player Development, Steve Alessio says that Footy Recruits is a great opportunity for players to receive offers from clubs when their AFL career is over. "We encourage any service which helps provide opportunities for our members and have thrown our support behind this site."
