'''Brent Green''' (29 March 1976 – 30 November 2009) was an [Australian rules football](/source/Australian_rules_football)er who played for the [Brisbane Bears](/source/Brisbane_Bears), [Brisbane Lions](/source/Brisbane_Lions) and [Sydney Swans](/source/Sydney_Swans) in the [Australian Football League](/source/Australian_Football_League) (AFL).
==History==
Green was recruited to the Brisbane Bears from [Southport](/source/Southport_Australian_Football_Club) in 1991, and made his senior debut in [1995](/source/1995_AFL_season) playing for them over two seasons, kicking no goals. In [1997](/source/1997_AFL_season), the Bears merged with the [Fitzroy Lions](/source/Fitzroy_Lions) to form the Brisbane Lions and Green was a member of the inaugural Lions squad, although he transferred to the Sydney Swans for the 1998 season after playing two games for the Lions.[{{AFL Tables|ref=B/Brent_Green.html}}] Green played seven games for the Swans, scoring eight goals, but recurring injuries forced him to retire from football at the end of the [1998 season](/source/1998_AFL_season).[Bradshaw, Finn: [http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/former-lion-drowns-while-surfing/story-e6frf9jf-1225806142784 Former Lion drowns while surfing], ''[Herald Sun](/source/Herald_Sun)'', 2 December 2009.]
