Hard-luck Sydney midfielder Taylor Adams has called time on his AFL career after a tough run with soft-tissue injuries.
Adams retired on Monday after 15 years in the sport, having played 229 games for GWS, Collingwood and the Swans.
The 32-year-old hadn't featured at AFL level this year, looking to complete his comeback from an off-season Achilles tear and later a hamstring strain.
But in his first VFL game back, Adams could not see out the first quarter against Southport and suffered another hamstring setback.
The veteran midfielder has struggled with persistent hamstring injuries, dating back to the end of his time at Collingwood when he missed the Magpies' 2023 grand final win.
After moving to Sydney ahead of the 2024 season, Adams has been restricted to 23 games, including just four last year.
