Collingwood premiership defender Nathan Murphy has called time on his AFL career after just 57 games. The 24-year-old suffered his 10th concussion in the grand final last year, substituted out before celebrating with his teammates, and he has been wrapped in cotton wool ever since. He was examined by the AFL ’s concussion panel in December and ultimately given the green light to continue his career.
” Just last week he shared his hope to return, but he will now hang up his boots and look to a future off the field. The decision follows Melbourne premiership midfielder Angus Brayshaw, a family friend, who gave up his career two months ago after ongoing concussion woes. Murphy said he underwent a brain scan after Brayshaw’s retirement was prompted by worrying results from his latest exam.
