Fremantle utility Adam McPhee has today announced his immediate retirement from the game.
The 223-game veteran, who had signed a one-year contract extension with the club, cited family reasons for the sudden decision to return home to Melbourne with wife Bree and their children, Taj and Cove.
Meanwhile, the club and Jack Anthony have reached an agreement that means the 24-year-old will not have to fulfil the final year of his three-year contract.
Bond said that the club was pleased it had been able to reach an agreement that was in the best interests of both Anthony and the club.
“Jack has always been very professional in his approach to training and playing during his two-years at the club and we wish him all the best in the future,” Bond said.
