Adelaide has thanked forward Elliott Himmelberg after he advised the Club of his intention to exercise his rights as an unrestricted free agent and join the Gold Coast Suns.

Himmelberg was drafted in 2016 and has played 50 games with the Crows since making his AFL debut in 2018.

Crows GM List Management and Strategy Justin Reid said Himmelberg would leave West Lakes with the Club’s best wishes.

“Elliott is a popular member of our playing group who has made a big contribution to our Club over the past eight seasons,” Reid said.

“We thank Elliott for his efforts and wish him all the best for the future.”

The AFL’s Free Agency window opened today and the Continental Tyres AFL Trade Period begins on Monday.
