COLLINGWOOD defender Shannon Cox has retired from AFL football at the tender age of 23.
Magpies football operations manager Geoff Walsh said Cox had lost the motivation to play the game.
"Shannon returned from the post-season break and decided that he no longer had the desire and hunger to commit to the demands of AFL football," Walsh said.
"We fully expected Shannon to be part of our 2010 list however we respect his decision to retire and wish him well."
Originally recruited from WAFL club South Fremantle, Cox played 25 games for the Pies after being promoted to the senior list at the end of 2006.
