Silvagni quits Carlton

Former player Stephen Silvagni has resigned from the board of directors of AFL club Carlton.

Silvagni said he was stepping down due to family and media commitments.

Said Silvagni: “The decision was a difficult one to make, however with my commitments I feel I will be unable to dedicate sufficient time to satisfactorily carry out the role of a director of the board."

Club president Ian Collins said the matter would be formally addressed at the club’s board meeting next week.
