Essendon utility Jake Kelly has announced his retirement from the AFL . The 29-year-old said he is focusing on the “next phase of his life” despite appearing to have plenty of footy ahead of him. Kelly was a mainstay in the Bombers’ line-up this year, playing 20 games to take his career total to 168. He enjoyed some strong form early in the season with a number of key shutdown jobs on the opposition’s dangerous forwards, but was often a whipping boy among fans.
“Firstly I’m incredibly indebted to the Adelaide Football Club for giving me the opportunity to be on an AFL list, they believed in me before I believed in myself and I’ll always be thankful for that as well as to the coaches, players and staff involved with the Adelaide Football Club. “It’s been a privilege to have played for the Essendon Football Club. I leave knowing that the quality of people within it are the right ones to lead it back to being a dominant club within the AFL.
