Adelaide Crows great Taylor “Tex” Walker announces he will retire from the AFL at the end of the season, according to multiple outlets. ABC Australia reports the decision as a retirement announcement, while The West Australian specifies the timing as the end of the 2026 season.
Both sources frame Walker as a long-serving Crows player who has spent 19 seasons with the club. The West Australian adds biographical context, noting his background from Broken Hill and his long-held ambition to play for Adelaide. It also references his career achievements, including 700-plus goals, as part of the basis for his legacy at the club. ABC Australia and The West Australian both report the retirement plan but differ slightly in how they describe the season endpoint and the amount of career and personal detail included.
