McCarthy calls time at Freo

Cam McCarthy has quit the Dockers after being told he would not receive a playing contract beyond 2020.

The 25-year-old has been given an early release from the contract that was due to expire at the end of this season.

General Manager Football Peter Bell said the parties reached a mutual agreement.

“We have been in discussions with Cam and his management about his future at Fremantle."

“We believed it was only fair to advise Cam as soon as possible that it was unlikely that he would have his contract extended beyond the end of the 2020 season.

“On that basis, Cam and his management discussed the situation with his family, and subsequently informed the club that he would like to seek an early release from his contract, which was mutually agreed to by all parties.”

McCarthy played 49-games for Fremantle but just one in 2020.
