Charlotte Dolan has informed the club that she will call time on her SANFLW career.

Dolan made her debut for the Panthers in round 1 of the 2023 season against Sturt, becoming the 99th player to represent South Adelaide in the SANFLW.

She began her SANFLW career with Woodville West Torrens in round 4 of the 2020 season, going on to play 23 games for the Eagles before joining South Adelaide.

Across 31 games for the Panthers, Dolan played in three Grand Finals, including the club’s 2024 and 2025 SANFLW premiership triumphs.

She was also part of South Adelaide’s 2024 Development League premiership.

Dolan saved one of her finest performances for last. In her 54th and final SANFLW game, she produced a best on ground performance, finishing with 23 disposals and five tackles.

Reflecting on her time at South Adelaide, Dolan said she was incredibly grateful for the opportunities, friendships and memories the club had given her.

"Seven years ago, I never imagined I’d be in the position I am today. From starting my journey at Woodville-West Torrens to finishing it at South Adelaide, I’m so incredibly grateful for everything football has given me." Said Dolan

"I’ve been so fortunate to play with such an amazing group and experience so much success over the last few years. Two League SANFLW premierships and a Dev League premiership are memories I’ll always be incredibly proud of, but the people I’ve shared them with mean even more."

"To the girls, thank you for the memories, the laughs and the friendships. You’re friends for life, and I can’t wait to watch you all continue to succeed. I’ll be cheering you on from the sidelines What a journey it’s been. I’ll forever be grateful."

South Adelaide Female Football Manager Jonathon Parker said Dolan had made a significant contribution during her time at the club.

"We thank Charlotte for everything she has given to the club throughout her time at South." Parker said.

"I still remember our first recruiting meeting. It was a big move for Charlotte at the time, but after the 2023 season she told me coming to the Panthers was one of the best decisions she had made. That showed how quickly she embraced the club and became such an important part of our group."

"We wish Charlotte all the very best for the future and look forward to continuing to see her around the club and at the footy."
