Fallen Eagle Ben Cousins has been spotted publicly for the first time since being released from prison.

The 40-year-old accidentally found himself in front of the cameras, while visiting the same pool where the Fremantle Dockers were training.

Journalists were waiting for coach Ross Lyon to hold a press conference when the troubled Brownlow medallist appeared.

He was spending time with his sister and baby niece at the Cockburn Aquatic Centre.

Cousins didn't address the media, other than to say "it's good to be out'.

It’s the first time the 40-year-old has been seen since he was released from Hakea Prison last week on bail.

His lawyer Michael Tudori said he is "...well and motivated to comply with his bail conditions".

The 40-year-old was spotted with his family. 9news

Cousins spent eight months behind bars.

He is free ahead of his trial in September, where he is facing stalking charges and allegedly breaching a violence restraining order against his ex-partner and the mother of his children Maylea Tinecheff.
