Taylor Walker says he felt welcomed back by teammates when he returned to training following his suspension for a racist comment at a SANFL game.
"I was quite nervous and anxious really ... bit of the unknown but the boys were quite welcoming when I got back. To get back and kicking the footy around is what I love doing so it's been awesome to be back around the footy club," he said.
Walker last October travelled to Port Augusta, about 320km north of Adelaide, with some Indigenous teammates and club staffers as part of his pledge to learn more about Indigenous issues.
"Once again, I was quite nervous going out there but they were very supportive, lovely community up there in Port Augusta. I learned so much and it was great to be able to go up there with young (Indigenous teammate) Tariek Newchurch, that's his community."
