A former Fremantle star will suit up for the Rockingham Rams Football Club this year.
Hayden Ballantyne has signed with the Rams for the 2026 Peel Football and Netball League season.
"Hayden brings elite-level experience, leadership and plenty of footy knowledge, and we’re thrilled to have him pulling on the red white & black," the club said.
The 38-year-old played 171 games for the Dockers between 2009 and 2019.
He most recently played for the All Stars in the AFL Legends Game at Marvel Stadium in August 2025.
Ballantyne also joined the senior coaching staff at Peel Thunder as a skills coach in 2025.
The Rockingham Rams just missed out on a grand final win last season, going down to South Mandurah by five points.
