Former AFL premiership star Darryl White has been re-registered to play in the Northern Territory after successfully appealing a decision to ban him for life.
In December, AFLNT deregistered the former Brisbane Lions great under a rule for all AFL-affiliated competitions that bans players for life if they are suspended for more than 15 games.
White, 38, who plays for the St Mary's Football Club in the Northern Territory, had been given a one-match suspension for striking Tiwi Bomber Donald Mungatopi, pushing him above the limit.
But on Monday evening, AFLNT said the independent appeals board had decided to re-register White following his appeal.
"The re-registration has been granted subject to the completion of a re-offender prevention plan undertaken by him and the St Mary's Football Club," the statement said.
Further details of what the re-offender prevention plan entails will be released on Tuesday, an AFLNT spokesman said.
White played in Brisbane's three premiership sides from 2001-03 and in 2005 was named at full-back in the Australian Rules football Indigenous Team of the Century.
