Key forward Taylor Walker’s stellar career will extend into an 18^th season with Adelaide next year.

The Club’s greatest ever goal kicker - who is also equal fifth for all-time games played with 278 - has signed a one-year contract extension to play on in 2025.

The 34-year-old All-Australian and former Club Captain has kicked 641 goals at an average of over 2.3 per game across his career, which began when he was drafted by the Crows from Broken Hill in 2007.

Adelaide GM List Management and Strategy Justin Reid said Walker would continue to provide important leadership and experience to the group while still performing at the top level.

“You can’t measure what Tex brings on and off the field for our football club,” Reid said.

“The fact that his playing career is continuing well into his 30s speaks to his professionalism and the way he approaches his training and preparation.

“He drives high standards and makes his teammates better and we’re very pleased that will continue for another season.”

Walker said he still had the motivation to play at the highest level and was determined to help the Club rise up the AFL ladder.

“Being a one club player means a lot to me and I still feel I have plenty to contribute to the team,” he said.

“I love working with our exciting young forward line and get a lot of satisfaction out of seeing them develop their own games.

“As a team, we didn’t get the results we wanted this year, but that only makes me more determined to continue working hard to get our Club back to where it belongs.”
