St Kilda champion and former captain Nick Riewoldt has confirmed his retirement at the end of the season.
Riewoldt, who played his first game in 2001, has been weighing up his future amid strong speculation for several weeks.
He is facing media this afternoon, but confirmed his retirement in a video address to supporters, saying St Kilda “will always have really special place in my heart”.
“I can’t believe how lucky and privileged I’ve been,” he said.
