After winning a Brownlow Medal, it’s no wonder Nat Fyfe has taken some time off.

But the star midfielder took time out of his holiday in the Maldives to help some locals mend a bridge.

Fyfe posted on his Facebook page yesterday that he had “helped out a mate who is a resident” on the island with some maintenance on the bridge.

“The old bridge had become completely run down and is the only way to get to another island where there is good surf and fishing,” he said.

“Probably not going to pass too many safety checks but job done and the locals have access again.”

Fyfe has spent time in Norway and Germany over the off-season.
