    Why Did Kyle Feldt Quit Super League For AFL???

    Kyle Feldt joins The Chad Townsend Show to reveal what's next after his time in the Super League. After leaving the UK, Feldt is heading back to Australia — but instead of returning to the NRL, he's taking on a completely different challenge: playing local AFL.
