WEST Coast has delisted midfielder Luke Edwards after he decided to step away from football to focus on his recovery from multiple concussions.

Edwards, 22, has played 37 games for the Eagles since joining the club with pick No.52 at the 2020 AFL Draft.

He is the son of Adelaide great Tyson Edwards, who played 321 games for the Crows and won premierships in 1997 and 1998.

WHO'S CALLED IT QUITS 2024's retirements and delistings

Edwards' departure means the Eagles have now made 11 changes to their list ahead of the 2024 Telstra AFL Draft, with new coach Andrew McQualter to take charge of a vastly changed list in 2025.

"I am stepping away from the game currently due to concussion reasons to allow me the time to return to full health," Edwards said in a statement.

"With the support of my family and the club, I will take all steps required to prepare myself for the next steps in my life."

Edwards joins Brad Sheppard and Daniel Venables as fellow Eagles who have had their careers cut short because of concussion.

West Coast football boss Gavin Bell said the club wished Edwards well.

"Luke has made the difficult decision to step away from the AFL to concentrate on his physical and mental wellbeing," Bell said.

"The club will continue to give full support to Luke and would like to thank him for his efforts over the last four years."

It remains to be seen whether Edwards will retire completely from football or attempt to reignite his career if he can overcome his concussion injury.

A number of players have been forced to retire this year due to concussion, including Collingwood duo Nathan Murphy and Josh Carmichael, Melbourne premiership player Angus Brayshaw and Western Bulldogs draftee Aiden O'Driscoll. - with AAP
