The Adelaide Football Club would like to sincerely thank Ryan O’Keefe for his efforts and contribution.

O’Keefe is returning to Melbourne to be closer to family and will pursue other opportunities.

He joined the Club in 2015 and worked largely in the area of player development, and also coached Adelaide’s SANFL team for the past two years.

Crows Head of Football Brett Burton said O’Keefe had played a key role in developing the next generation of players. 

“Ryan has been a valued member of our coaching group and his knowledge and dedication are first class,” Burton said.

“He will always be part of the Crows family and we wish him, his wife Tara, and their children the best for the future.”
