Butters' day cut short with leg injury | PTV
Zak Butters is subbed out midway through the second quarter after suffering a leg…
Arriving at the club as part of the club’s lauded draft haul of 2018, Zak Butters has continued to build on an extremely impressive first three seasons.
Known for his hard-at-the-ball attitude and silky skills, Butters is a favourite among the Port Adelaide faithful. Despite a nasty knee injury sustained early in the 2021 season, Butters’ hard work and undeniable talent saw him re-enter the team with the same high intensity that saw him selected in the extended All-Australian squad the year before. His excellent form was rewarded with a contract extension, seeing him at Alberton until at least the end of 2024.
Despite spending the first portion of his young career split between the forward line and the midfield, Butters is eyeing off more minutes in the midfield in 2022, hoping to cement a permanent spot in the centre. Set to see more time on-ball combined with his trademark hunger, the young star is primed for an influential year on the park.
