Retired Brisbane midfielder Jarryd Lyons is set to continue his football career in South Australia, with the lure of playing with brother Corey at SANFL club Glenelg an option.

Lyons recently hung up the boots following 14 seasons across three clubs, playing 194 games for Adelaide, Gold Coast and the Lions.

However, the 32-year-old could return to South Australia, where most of his family lives and potentially join his brother on the football field once again.

The Lyons brothers were both listed at Brisbane for the 2019 and 2020 seasons.

Corey was drafted by the Lions ahead of the 2017 campaign but never featured at the elite level.

"I think we'll be coming back to Adelaide, which will be nice," Lyons said on SEN SA Breakfast earlier in the week.

"A possible return to Glenelg to play with my brother might be on the cards.

"There is a lure of playing with my brother who was here (in Brisbane) for four years, and we never actually got to play together.

"It was a tough decision. In the end, one of my mentors said, โ€˜In 30 years, if you look back and say you had the chance to play with your brother, and you didn't do it, how are you going to feel about it?'.

"That was one of the main reasons. Family is big thing for us. It'll be great fun, too.โ€

Lyons also mentioned he spoke to South Australia clubs Adelaide and Port Adelaide in regards to a coaching role.

"I spoke to Port and Adelaide, but there wasn't exactly any sort of AFL roles," Lyons added.

"They'd been finished for so long before the Grand Final came along that they'd appointed a few people in those areas."
