THE WA football community is rallying around Quenton Leach as the Fremantle Dockers foundation player battles cancer.

Leach, 44, was last month diagnosed with stage three testicular cancer after initially discovering a lump behind his kidney in July.

Having had the primary cancer removed, the Claremont product is set to undergo chemotherapy to treat the stage two and three cancer in his chest and abdomen.

A MyCause fundraising page set up this week to help the father-of-three had yielded almost $25,000 by Saturday night.

Former Dockers teammates, including Stephen O’Reilly and Brad Wira, have been quick to contribute and send their best wishes via the site.

Fremantle chief executive Steve Rosich said the club had thrown its arms around Leach in his health battle.

“Quenton is a foundation player with the club and we have been in regular contact with his family in recent weeks to offer whatever support is required,” Rosich said.

“We look forward to working with our Past Players and the AFL Players Association to provide support and assistance to Quenton and his family.”

Leach played 56 games across the Dockers’ first four seasons in the AFL, and provided a memorable moment in the club’s history with a goal after the siren to win a game against Brisbane in 1997.
