Trent Sporn retires

[locky801]

From the NAFC website

Trent Sporn has announced his retirement from SANFL Football, unfortunately due injuries over the past two seasons he has decided that his body no longer allows him to play and train at the level required to play professional football. The Sporn family has had a great association with NAFC and Trent has carried on that association with a real commitment and honesty every time he represented the North Adelaide Football Club. That honesty and love of the NAFC saw him return to NAFC after spending 5 years at Carlton, since 2007 he has become a real leader on and off the field. The North Adelaide Football Club wish Trent every success in his future after football.

One of only three North players (along with B Hart and Bamford) who could hold their head high in the 2007 Grand Final loss to Central.

Unfortunately injuries prevented him from having a bigger impact since he returned from Carlton.

End of an era with for the first time in living memory no father/son combinations represented in the current roosters league side.

Was always 100% committed to the Carlton jumper when at Blue land, and probably not given a decent enough run in the AFL.

Pity his career just went downhill so quick.

Disagree - on performance over the course of the game Schubert was our best. Pity his name will be assoicated with the fight at the end of thje game.

Not a fight just a king hit (not from Schubert)
