Ken McGregor has respectfully declined the offer of a full-time role within Port Adelaide’s football department for the 2014 season.

The club offered McGregor the role of SANFL Academy and development coach for the 2014 season alongside newly appointed SANFL senior coach Garry Hocking.

McGregor thanked the club for the offer but has instead chosen to pursue an involvement in football that also allows him to maintain his media career away from the sport.

The Port Adelaide Football Club thanks Ken for his contribution to Port Adelaide over the last 11 months.
