Port Adelaide midfielder Travis Boak will step down as captain of the Power after six years as the club's skipper.

The 30-year-old captained the club in 137 games, the most in the club's history.

โ€œSix years into the job I think itโ€™s the right time to hand it over to the next person, whoever that is,โ€ Boak told portadelaidefc.com.au.

โ€œIโ€™ve hit 30 now and Iโ€™m at the back end of my career so I think itโ€™s a good chance for a change of direction.

โ€œThe club is in a good position with everything thatโ€™s been set up off the field and on the field with all the players weโ€™ve got in in the past few years, so itโ€™s a perfect opportunity for the next person to come in and take the lead and push the group forward.โ€

MORE TO COME.
