The Fremantle Football Club have confirmed two changes to its playing list on Thursday.

Defender Nathan Wilson and forward Travis Colyer were informed they would not be offered contracts for the 2024 season.

The pair remain dedicated to completing the season for Peel and will remain at the Club to train throughout the WAFL finals series.

Wilson arrived at Fremantle from GWS in the 2017 trade period. He has played a total of 155 AFL games including 78 for Fremantle.

The 30-year-old played four games for Fremantle in 2023 and 16 games so far for Peel.

Colyer arrived at Fremantle from Essendon in the 2018 trade period. He has played a total of 146 AFL games including 59 at Fremantle.

The 31-year-old was sidelined early in the season after undergoing knee surgery and has played 13 games so far for Peel.

Executive General Manager of Football Peter Bell thanked the pair for their contributions at Fremantle.

“It’s always a tough time of year in the football industry when decisions on our players’ careers have to be made, and I’d like to thank both Nathan and Travis for their contributions to Fremantle for the past six and five years respectively,” Bell said.

“Their dedication to the Club has never wavered, and this is no more evident in their decision to see the finals series out with Peel as they continue to impart their experience on their younger teammates.

“A fortnight ago when Tom Emmett made his debut, it was Travis who presented his jumper. It’s a sign of how, even without playing an AFL game this year, Travis continued to have an impact as a leader and a key contributor to Tom’s development.  

“In addition, Nathan is proudly a product of the Peel Thunder Football Club, and nothing would make us prouder than to see him finish his time at Fremantle with a Thunder premiership.”
