Port Adelaide defender Ryan Burton is on the lookout for a third AFL club after being told he won’t be offered a new contract at the Power.

Burton, 28, only managed eight senior games this year due to injuries and form.

It continued a frustrating run for the classy defender, who only played 15 games last year.

7NEWS Adelaide reporter Josh Money revealed Burton’s time at the Power has come to an end.

“Ryan Burton has been told he won’t be offered a contract by Port Adelaide for 2026 and beyond,” he tweeted.

“One of the Power’s best on his day, the 28-year-old’s body has let him down in recent years.”

The Power are expected to confirm their delistings later on Monday with out-of-contract swingman Jeremy Finlayson another name to watch.

Burton joined the Power from Hawthorn at the end of 2018 after a blockbuster trade that saw Chad Wingard go the other way.

He had been earmarked for big things at the Hawks during his first three years at the club and was contracted until the end of 2020 at the time of the shock trade.

Burton was overseas at the time and reportedly unhappy with how the Hawks treated him.

But he eventually embraced the move back home to play for Port Adelaide and quickly established himself in their best team.

He played 115 games for the Power, including eight finals across the past five years.

Port Adelaide finished their season with an unexpected win over Gold Coast in Ken Hinkley’s final game as coach.
