After 78 SANFL games and 81 goals in the Double Blue, James Mathews has called time on his SANFL career.
Debuting in Round 1, 2022 as player #1276, James quickly became a key contributor with his elite speed, creativity, and finishing skills. A 2025 Premiership Player and 2023 Grand Final Player, he consistently gave his all for the team and embodied what it means to wear the Double Blue.
🗣 Senior Coach Marty Mattner said:
“James’ elite speed and goal-kicking ability were showcased by his two goals in the Grand Final. He’s been a great teammate and a pleasure to coach in his four years at Sturt.”
We thank James for his dedication, professionalism, and commitment to the Sturt Football Club, and wish him all the very best for what comes next.
