Cyril Rioli returns to Darwin

Cyril Rioli has returned to Darwin to spend time with his family.

Hawthorn hasn’t given a time frame on his return.

The Hawks released a statement on Tuesday.

“Cyril expressed to us his desire to return to Darwin with his wife Shannyn and be with their family.”

“Physically, Cyril is in great condition, and potentially could have played for us in the coming weeks.

“However, we acknowledge his desire to be with family.

“Our priority at Hawthorn is our people and we ask that Cyril’s privacy be respected at this time.”
