Port Adelaide forward Lindsay Thomas has called time on his career, after 212 games for North Melbourne and the Power.

The 30-year-old played seven games for Port Adelaide in 2018 in his only season for the club, after being selected in the rookie draft at the end of last season.

โ€œI made the decision to retire [on Friday] after speaking with my family and my manager. It just felt right to finish my career [on Saturday] where my senior career started at Port Adelaide,โ€ Thomas told the club's website.

โ€œI started my junior career in 2004 with Port Adelaide SANFL captain Steven Summerton and to be able to share our retirements today was amazing.โ€

Thomas also extended a thank you to his former club, saying he feels grateful for the chance the Roos gave him back in 2006.

โ€œI thank North Melbourne who took a punt on me in 2006 and really embraced me and my family. I had an amazing eleven-year career there and I canโ€™t thank them enough.

โ€œAnd then to come home and finish my career here at Port Adelaide, where it all started, makes me feel very blessed,โ€ he said.

Thomas booted 329 goals over his career including a career-high tally of 53 in 2013.
