Hawthorn midfielder Tom Scully has stepped away from football to deal with a personal issue.
Scully hasn’t trained for two weeks with the Hawks confirming to AFL.com.au's Mitch Cleary that he has decided to take some time away from the game.
"Tom has requested time off from his football commitments due to personal circumstances," a Hawthorn spokesperson told AFL.com.au.
"Hawthorn is fully supportive of Tom's request and remains in regular communication with Tom to provide him with any support required.
"The club ask that Tom's privacy is respected at this time and will provide a further update when available."
Scully, a former No.1 draft pick, is entering the third and final year of his contract at Hawthorn.
The 29-year-old made 14 appearances in 2020.
