Sydney veteran Jude Bolton will announce his retirement on Monday after 15 seasons at the elite level.

The Swans have called a 2pm press conference at the club's headquarters where Bolton will confirm that he will pull stumps on his illustrious career at the end of the season.

Bolton was asked by the club recently what his intentions were beyond this year and has decided against pushing his 33-year-old body through one more campaign.

Many had expected the veteran to retire on a high after last year's premiership but, tempted by the prospect of more success, he saddled up for a 15th season and remains an important player to the team.
