Greater Wester Sydney midfielder Taylor Adams is assisting police with inquiries after he admitted being involved in an altercation in a Geelong bar earlier this month.

The Giants issued a statement on Wednesday night confirming the AFL player had told the club about the incident but did not go into any further detail.

Club chief executive David Matthews said: “Taylor and the club take this matter extremely seriously and will do all we can to co-operate with the police investigation. Until that is completed, we have no further comment at this time.”

Adams, who played with the Geelong Falcons in the under 18 TAC Cup competition, was drafted by the Giants for their inaugural year as pick No.13.

A hard running, strong ball clearer, Adams was rated by several clubs as the most impressive interviewee at the draft camp with one national recruiting manager declaring him a future AFL captain.

He represented Vic Country at the AFL under 18 championships and he earned All Australian honours.
