Steele Sidebottom Calls Time on Career | Australia News

Steele Sidebottom is hanging up his boots after a storied 14-year career, admitting the fun started to fade as retirement approached—not from one dramatic moment, but from the quiet weight of what comes next. Debuting in 2009 and winning his first premiership just a year later, Sidebottom admits he once prioritized the social side of footy over discipline, until meeting his wife reignited his focus. His most cherished moment? The 2023 premiership, which he savored deeply after waiting 13 years for another shot at glory. With 373 games under his belt, he’s ready for a break from the grind—no coaching plans yet, just time to reflect and live life off the field. The future? An open book.
