Heath Grundy Announces His Retirement

Premiership Swan Heath Grundy has announced his retirement.

Grundy, who played 256 AFL games for Sydney, told his teammates on Wednesday that he was hanging up the boots due to a chronic back injury.

“Heath has been an unbelievable servant of our club for a long time and there’s no doubt he will be missed,” coach John Longmire said. 

“In terms of leadership, Heath set an example for all of us with his meticulous preparation, dedication and passion for his craft.

“Each week he’d line up on the opposition’s most damaging and biggest forward – and he’d just get the job done. 

“He’s a premiership player and a champion of our club. We wish Heath, Elise, Reggie and Jameson all the best for the next phase of life.”
