The South Adelaide Football Club advises that Olivier Northam will not return to the Panthers for the 2027 Hostplus SANFL League season.

Northam has informed the club of his intention to explore football opportunities interstate.

After joining South Adelaide from St Joseph's midway through the 2024 season, Northam made his League debut against Sturt in Round 13 that year.

The utility went on to play 36 League games for the Panthers, kicking 11 goals and finishing runner up in the 2025 Knuckey Cup.

South Adelaide General Manager of Football Brent Reilly thanked Northam for his contribution to the club.

"We thank Olivier for his commitment and contribution to the football club during his time at South Adelaide." Reilly said.

"While we would have loved to see him continue, we understand his desire to explore opportunities interstate and wish him all the best in the next chapter of his football journey.

"We are continuing to work on strengthening our playing list for the 2027 season and look forward to announcing further recruits in due course."

The South Adelaide Football Club thanks Olivier for his service and wishes him all the best for the future.
