Yvonne Bonner
Yvonne Bonner has announced her AFLW retirement.
The Glenfin girl joined Adelaide Crows this season and kicked six goals in 10 games. She retires after 21 career games, including 11 for Greater Western Sydney Giants in 2019 and 2020, before she returned to Ireland due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
The former Donegal star provided a strong target for the Crows this season but said the time was now right for her to return to Ireland and focus on life after football.
“I am so grateful that I had the opportunity to return to Australia and play another season of AFLW,” Bonner said.
“It was such a great experience for me and my family and we are going to miss all the management, staff and girls who made us feel so welcome.”
Adelaide Head of Women’s Football Phil Harper congratulated Bonner on her AFLW career and thanked her for her contribution.
“Yvonne has made a significant impact on the squad and her guidance and support for her fellow teammates has been invaluable,” Harper said.
“Impressively, Yvonne returned to the competition after over a year off and she did not miss a beat.
“Yvonne will be missed but we wish her all the best with life outside of football and she will always be part of the Crows family.”
