Schofield calls it time with the Sharks

2017 Lynn Medallist, Jayden Schofield, has advised the club and his teammates that he’ll be stepping away from the WAFL. The classy half back flanker made the announcement on Monday night.

Jayden, a product of our Geraldton zone, was a member of the Colts Premiership side in 2010 under the guidance of Steve Malaxos. Jayden was pick 74 in the 2010 AFL draft, playing 7 AFL games for the Western Bulldogs in the 2011 season. He returned to WA before the start of the 2012 season where he reunited with Malaxos. Schofield played 19 games for the season and was a member of the losing 2012 League Grand Final side, averaging 15 disposals.  

Over his 8 seasons, Jayden played 123 games for the club, including 2 Foxtel Cup games. An attacking defender, Schofield had his best season in 2017, winning the Lynn Medal - East Fremantle’s Best and Fairest player in the League. He averaged 25.9 disposals and took 124 marks across 19 games for the year. 

“I will always cherish the memories I have from my time at East Fremantle,” Schofield said.

“The club has been a huge part of my life and had a big influence on the person I am today. I have made many lifelong friends along the way.”

The East Fremantle Football Club would like to congratulate Jayden on his career and wish him all the best in his future endeavours.
