DOCTOR Mark Fisher has advised Port Adelaide that he will step down as the club’s Chief Medical Officer after 15 years in the role.
A highly experienced practitioner and member of both the AFL Medical Officers Association and Australian College of Sports Physicians, Dr Fisher first started at Alberton as Port Adelaide entered the AFL in 1997.
He became the club’s Chief Medical Officer in 2011, five years after being awarded life membership of the Port Adelaide Football Club.
Despite stepping back, Dr Fisher’s experience won’t be lost to Port Adelaide. He will continue to work with the club as its second doctor, supporting and mentoring new Chief Medical Officer Dr Jaeger Wylie.
“Mark is one of the most respected and trusted practitioners in Australian sport and we have been extremely fortunate to have had him working with our club for so long,” said General Manager – Football, Chris Davies.
“We can’t thank him enough for his dedication to our players and staff across the years. Importantly he will continue to support our AFL program albeit in a reduced capacity.”
Dr Wylie has been working under Dr Fisher in Port Adelaide’s SANFL and AFL programs since 2021.
