Bio
Selected with a first-round pick (number 17) by Adelaide in the 2005 National Draft, Darren Pfeiffer's career was defined by his persistence to find a place at the elite level rather than the immediate success predicted by his junior pedigree. He failed to break into the senior side during two seasons at West Lakes and was delisted, only to be thrown a lifeline by Carlton in the 2008 Pre-season Draft. Pfeiffer managed seven games for the Blues as a hard-running utility but was again cut from the list after struggling to cement a spot in the 22. After a season in the QAFL with Southport, he earned a rare third chance when Port Adelaide recruited him as a mature-age rookie, allowing him to return to his home state. Pfeiffer played his most consistent football at Alberton, utilised primarily as a tough, contested ball-winner and rebounding defender, ultimately carving out a reputation as a resilient journeyman who fought his way back into the system multiple times before his final delisting in 2013.
