SOUTH Fremantle life member and dual premiership star Craig White looks set to finish his decorated career against Peel Thunder and that could be a fitting end after it was only the efforts of Marty Atkins that saw him not play with the Mandurah-based club in the first place.

Having grown up in Williams and having his parents live in Mandurah once he'd finished school at Aquinas College, White was weighing up whether or not to remain at South Fremantle or join Peel Thunder ahead of the 2004 WAFL season following the colts premiership.

The announcement that Craig White will be retiring at the end of the season means that there is only two dual premiership players from 2005 and 2009 left to continue on beyond 2015 at South Fremantle, and they just happen to be twins, Ashton and Kyle Hams.

IT WAS disappointing to hear Whitey call in the playing group, coaches, support staff and board members prior to training on Tuesday and announce his retirement.

He has been an integral player to the club for over a decade and his playing record speaks for itself with one colts, one reserves, two league flags and 190-plus league games. It is something many players would be envy of, but it’s a phenomenal achievement!

One of Whitey’s strengths that stand out to me is the way he leads every session with his training standards on the track. His intensity and willingness to improve each session forces players to improve with him, which leads to overall success.
