Brownlow Medallist Mark Ricciuto has been re-elected to the Adelaide Football Club’s Board of Directors on a two-year term.

There was one position open for eligible Members to contest and at the close of nominations on Wednesday, Ricciuto was the only nomination received.

Current financial Crows Members were able to put themselves forward with an independently-run election to be held if required.

One of the Club’s greatest-ever players, Ricciuto played 312 games for the Crows in a decorated career spanning 15 years.

A premiership player, Brownlow Medallist, eight-time All Australian and triple best-and-fairest winner, Ricciuto captained Adelaide in 142 matches between 1999-2007.

He retired at the end of the 2007 season and was inducted into the Australian Football Hall of Fame in 2011.

Away from the football, Ricciuto has strong business acumen. He’s a part owner of the Alma Tavern, Port Lincoln Hotel and The Hackney.

He also has an extensive media background as co-host of Triple M’s Adelaide breakfast show and television commentary role with national broadcaster Fox Footy.

Ricciuto said he was honoured to continue serving the Club, which had been such a big part of his life.

“We have made significant progress both on and off the field in the last couple of years but there is a lot more to be done,” Ricciuto said.

“It is a privilege to serve on the Board and just like the Members and fans, I am passionate about seeing our Club achieve the ultimate success.”

Adelaide’s Board of Directors are Rob Chapman (Chairman), Jim Hazel, Bob Foord, Andrew Payze, Kate Gould, Mark Ricciuto, Rod Jameson, Linda Fellows and Andrew Fagan (CEO).
