Josh Kelly continues his rehabilitation from serious hip surgery.

He has commenced a running program and will be assessed throughout the pre-season in a slow build according to GWS EGM of Football Jason McCartney on Wednesday (via Trade Radio).

Kelly underwent hip resurfacing surgery last year and did not play in the 2026 season.

McCartney said they are hopeful and will give Kelly every opportunity to return which could be at the start or midway through next season.

AFLRATINGS Fantasy Impact: Josh Kelly is questionable to make a full return from serious hip surgery, if he does make a successful return it’s unlikely to be full game minutes initially.
