GWS veteran Jake Stringer has confirmed he will depart the club and hopes to continue his career at a Victorian club in 2027.

Stringer, who is out of contract at the end of the season, said he is keen to return to Melbourne to be closer to his family after Saturday night’s final match against Adelaide.

The 32-year-old has been at the Giants for two years, and is actually enjoying one of the better seasons of his career having kicked 42 goals.

But he revealed his father has been unwell this year, and he also wants to be closer to his young daughters.

“I’ll probably most likely go back to Melbourne, just for family reasons,” he said on Thursday.

“My dad’s been sick throughout this whole year and being away from my two girls back in Melbourne’s been challenging. So most likely, it’s probably my last game for the Giants.

“I’m just excited for this last game and ... most likely it’ll be my last game. But it’s one that I’m very grateful for, to be able to play. Absolutely loved my time.

“Definitely feel like I’ve got quite a few more years left. But I’ll just get through this weekend, reassess, spend some time with the family, go back home and work it out from there.”

Stringer stressed there hasn’t been an official decision yet, and is just looking forward to Saturday night’s clash against Adelaide.

“But there’s been no decision or anything like that,” he said.

“I’m just looking forward to finishing it off here, enjoying more time with my teammates who I absolutely love, and go from there.”

Stringer is preparing for his 250th AFL match after first beginning his career at the Western Bulldogs.

He was a member of the 2016 premiership side before departing the club at the end of 2017 to join Essendon.

But his time at the Giants appears up after two years.

Earlier this month, 7NEWS reporter Tom Morris revealed Stringer’s future was clouded after a failed business venture.

“Jake Stringer had a business venture which didn’t go well,” Morris said on Channel 7’s The Agenda Setters.

“He had a number of players involved in this business venture, across the Giants and Essendon. I also believe he asked some Giants coaches to be involved as well, and it just didn’t work out.

“These players were invested in it financially.

“It just didn’t work out, and this was a few months ago now. It just caused some issues within the Giants because players had put their money in to trust Stringer.

“Stringer assures me these players have been paid back, but there has been some erosion of trust from the people I’ve spoken to, from the teammates of Jake Stringer, based on what happened.

“I don’t think it’s a massive issue, but I just wanted to clarify what that was ... In the eyes of the players that I’ve spoken to, they’ve been paid back, so they’re OK.

“(But it was) a challenge for the teammates of Stringer, and Stringer at the time.”
