Concern ... Jayden's Pitt playing future is unclear at the moment. Source: Daniel Wilkins / News Limited
Fremantle midfielder Jayden Pitt hopes his AFL career isn't over despite being diagnosed with a heart irregularity.
Pitt's career has been put on hold since the irregularity was discovered during the pre-season, with the 20-year-old using his time away from the club to seek opinions from cardiologists in Perth and Melbourne.

But Pitt says he hasn't been forced to retire just yet, despite reports to the contrary.
"At this stage, I'm working closely with the doctors, my family and the club to determine where we go from here,'' Pitt said in a statement on Wednesday.
"With that level of support, I'm remaining upbeat and continue to have a positive outlook as far as playing football goes.''
Pitt has played 10 games for the Dockers since being chosen with pick No.20 in the 2010 national draft.
Scans on Wednesday afternoon confirmed Brisbane Lions midfielder Claye Beams had ruptured his ACL.
The injury, to his left knee, was sustained earlier in the day during training.
Dean Warren, Lions general manager - football operations, said the injury was a huge disappointment for Claye and the club.
"Claye had an outstanding pre-season and was consolidating his position in our best 22 so, understandably, he is devastated by this setback," Warren said.
"We are certain Claye's strong character will get him through this tough period and that he will approach his rehabilitation with absolute professionalism."
The 21-year-old has played 15 senior games for the Lions, including the opening two rounds of this season.
