If there are no particular highlights and the player has played for multiple teams, list the teams in the first paragraph, in chronological order.

Other events, such as the player's extensive involvement with a humanitarian agency, or other significant personal interests, generally can be noted after the career information. However, if the event relates to the player's career, such as raising funds for medical research after returning to play after an illness, it might be appropriate to include it within the career description.
