NORTH ADELAIDE FOOTBALL CLUB STATEMENT
The North Adelaide Football Club supports former player Leigh Ryswyk who has come out publicly as the first openly gay past or present AFL/SANFL player.
Leigh played 226 games for the club, is a North Adelaide Football Club Life Member and SANFL Life Member, and was a key contributor to our 2018 Reserves Premiership, overcoming broken ribs suffered late in the home and away season.
As a football club, we pride ourselves on fostering an inclusive environment where players, staff, members and supporters from all communities feel safe, respected, and free to be themselves.
If you want to go quickly, go alone.
If you want to go far, go together.
