Geelong midfielder James Kelly has joined teammate Mathew Stokes in announcing he will play his last game for the Cats this weekend.

Kelly, 31, is a triple-premiership player at the club and Saturday’s clash against Adelaide will be the 273rd AFL match of his decorated career.

“The overwhelming feeling I have at the moment is I just feel really grateful, grateful for the people I’ve met, grateful for all the fun we’ve been able to have,” Kelly told the club’s website.
