Port Adelaide defender Matthew Broadbent will step away from the game indefinitely, as he deals with a mental health issue.
The club will assist the 28-year-old during his leave of absence.
Speaking to portadelaidefc.com.au, General Manager of Football Chris Davies said they would not be putting a timeline on Broadbent's return.

"Matthew is a valued player, teammate and person at the Port Adelaide Football Club. At this point, the best option for his overall health is to step away from the game for a while," Davies said.
"The club's primary focus is on Matthew's health and welfare and we will continue to provide him with the ongoing support he requires.
"We can't say at this point how long that will be but he will be given as long as he needs."
