Burgoyne Powers on

AFL great Shaun Burgoyne says he is returning home to Port Adelaide after being lured by where the club is heading and the chance to work in several off-field areas.

Burgoyne had been widely sought – including by Power’s cross-town rival Adelaide and the AFL – since calling time on his 407-game career last month.

But on Wednesday the 38year-old accepted a job at the club where he played SANFL, 157 AFL matches and in its 2004 premiership.
