Hip surgery will sideline Port Adelaide ruckman Jarrad Redden for the rest of this AFL season.

Redden had the operation on Thursday and will also soon have a right shoulder operation.

He had carried a right hip injury for the first half of the season and then suffered a right shoulder dislocation in the round-10 loss to the Western Bulldogs.

“Reddo would have required hip surgery post-season anyway,” said Port’s high performance Darren Burgess.

“So given that we have made the call for him to have shoulder surgery soon, it’s an opportunity to have his hip operated on now so that he is ready to resume pre-season training with the rest of the team.

“Today’s surgery went well and after his imminent shoulder surgery we expect him to make a full recovery and be fit and ready for next season.”

The 22-year-old has played six games in his second AFL season.
