St Kilda utility Brett Voss has announced his retirement from AFL football at the age of just 29.
Voss' decision was made following discussions with senior coach Ross Lyon and the Saints' coaching panel.
"I have thoroughly enjoyed my time with St Kilda Football Club and leave the game extremely proud of what I have achieved, and confident that I have given myself every opportunity to make the most of my time as an AFL footballer," Voss said.
Drafted to the Saints from the Brisbane Lions in 2001, Voss finished 10th in the 2006 Best and Fairest.
"I would like to thank all the players I have been involved with in my time at both St Kilda and Brisbane who, along with the dedicated off field staff, make the clubs what they are," he said.
"I would especially like to thank all of my family for their support during this time and I am particularly indebted to my wife Carley who has supported me both in the good and the tough times.
"Without Carley and my children, my achievements would mean little.
"Lastly, a big thank you to the St Kilda supporters who have been fantastic in my seven years at the club."
Voss wore the lucky No.13 in 170 AFL matches including 35 with the Lions.
