The 30-year-old joined the Tigers as a mature recruit in 2013 and spent five years at Punt Road before signing the dogs in 2018.

« I’ve been thinking long and hard about this decision over the past few weeks and months and I’ve come to the conclusion that it is time to hang my boots, » Lloyd told the Western Bulldogs website.

« Playing AFL has been an amazing experience and I’m proud of what I’ve achieved on the field. My journey has not been conventional, but I am honored to have played at the highest level.

“I am very grateful that I represented two great clubs that gave me the opportunity to realize a childhood dream.

« I’m grateful to everyone who helped me along the way on my football trip. I loved my teammates and coaches at both clubs and cannot thank them enough for the memories and lessons they taught me. ”
