WEST Coast Eagles coach John Worsfold has revealed that champion on-baller Daniel Kerr is set to retire. Kerr, 30, is believed to have told his Eagles teammates on Sunday that he would hang up is boots. He joins other 2006 Eagles premiership stars Andrew Embley and Adam Selwood who announced retirements from the game late last month and played in send-off games in Perth on Saturday night against Adelaide. Kerr has not played since the Eagles Round 13 loss to Essendon in Perth when he racked up 19 possessions and looked set to revive his accomplished career that has been riddled with hamstring and knee troubles over the past four seasons. “He indicated today that he is really not confident in his body holding up at all going into next season,” Worsfold told Channel Seven News in Perth. “Right at this moment we’ve got to work through all of that and what it means for us as a club and what it means for Daniel.
