Eddie Betts will pull the boots on at local footy level this season.
The Carlton and Adelaide great has signed on at Northern league club Fitzroy Stars.
It is understood Betts won’t just be a one-off guest appearance either, preparing to play a run of games for the Division 3 premiership favourite.
The 350-game, 640-goal great has previously played for the Stars in the annual VACSAL indigenous football tournament but this will be the first time he has suited up for a regular season match.
The Stars confirmed the news on Wednesday night.
“All Betts are on for the Stars to shine in 2025. We can’t wait to see Eddie Betts run out in a Star jumper again, this time in our regular season,” the club’s social media post read.
Betts has often played one-off matches, featuring for Ovens and Murray club Wangaratta Rovers last season.
He last regularly played in 2023, making six appearances for Palmerston Magpies in the Northern Territory league, kicking 17 goals.
