THE career of Geelong key defender Matthew Egan is in serious doubt with the key defender's foot injury showing no signs of healing.
Egan, who missed a place in the Cats' drought-breaking premiership team in 2007, visited his specialist in Sydney earlier this week.
The 2007 All-Australian centre-half back's foot has not fully healed and he has limited movement in the area despite several operations.
Geelong football operations manager Neil Balme said on Wednesday that there are 'very serious doubts' that Egan will be able to play AFL football again.
"While this is not absolutely the end of the road, there are very serious doubts that Matthew will be able to recover to a level that would allow him to resume his career," Balme said.
"Along with Matthew we will continue to explore all of the options available to him. As we learn more we will continue to keep the many Geelong supporters that have followed Matthew's journey up to date."
