Kieran Strachan Biography

Kieran Strachan is ruled out of the start of the 2025 season after undergoing surgery to repair a stress fracture in his right foot.

Strachan had reported soreness in his right foot after running, and scans last week showed he had suffered a stress fracture in the navicular bone.

He is expected to start running again in 10 weeks and won't be fit to play for at least four months.

Kieran Strachan makes his AFL debut for Adelaide with 4 disposals (a kick and 3 handballs), 4 tackles and 10 hitouts in a 69-point loss to North Melbourne.

Kieran Strachan signs a one-year deal with the Crows to remain on the club's rookie list in 2020.

Adelaide rookie Kieran Strachan says he looks to his sister, Rebecca Bulley, for inspiration on what it takes to be an elite sportsperson.

Rebecca enjoyed a stellar netball career; the defender helped the Australian Diamonds win the 2015 world title before retiring at the end of 2018 with GWS.

"She's done it all, so I try and draw as much information off her," Strachan said.

"She's done the path that I'm now taking, so to get as much information it's been really helpful.

"Something I would like to strive for is that highest level, which for me is playing an AFL game."

Adelaide select Kieran Strachan with pick No.7 in the 2018 Rookie Draft.

“We’ve tracked him (Strachan) hard for two years," Adelaide recruiting manager Hamish Ogilvie said.

"He broke his ankle in the middle of the year, swapped from Essendon where he wasn’t getting a lot of ruck time, went to Port Melbourne, played a couple of pretty solid games and hurt his ankle again but we'd seen enough."
