Brenton Sanderson (born 27 February 1974) is a former Australian rules footballer in the Australian Football League.

Career

Early career

Originally from the city of Adelaide, Sanderson moved from Sturt Double Blues to the Adelaide Crows as one of their 10 concession picks. He finally made his debut in 1992 but had limited opportunities and played just 6 games until he moved to Collingwood. He played just 4 games with the club following two hamstring injuries during the year, but Sanderson once said he learned a lot about the right attitude to preparation and training, as he learned from living with Nathan Buckley.

1995-2005: Geelong

In 1995 Sanderson moved to Geelong and reinvented himself as a half-back flanker, generating a lot of run out of defense. He had his best season in 2001, when he took out the Carji Greeves Medal as well as earning International rules selection.

In 2005 before the finals series, Sanderson announced he would be retiring from AFL football. Unfortunately he went out following a heartbreaking loss in the Semi-final to Sydney.
