Three-time Richmond premiership forward Jack Riewoldt will return to the Club in 2023, putting pen to paper on a fresh contract this week.

Riewoldt booted 40 goals from 21 games this year, the 11th occasion in his 16-year career he has booted 40 or more goals in a season.

The 33-year-old was one of Richmond’s best players in the Elimination Final defeat to Brisbane, kicking three goals, including two in the final term.

'I've still got plenty to play for' - Riewoldt

Jack Riewoldt speaks to AFL 360 about signing for 2023

Riewoldt’s forward partnership with Tom Lynch remains a weapon for the Tigers, with the pair combining for 103 goals- the third most among forward duos in the competition.

The 326-game veteran also ranked #2 at the Club for contested marks, #2 for marks inside 50, #6 for score involvements, and #8 for goal assists.

The star player said he felt like he still had "plenty to play for".

"I'm really excited to be playing again for the Tigers in 2023," he said.

"One thing I'm proud of is the fact there was no quick decisions, it was made together, and that's the thing that holds me in good stead going into next year, that the Club still sees me as a serviceable player.

"I'm playing my role and I'm excited to play, and I'm also really excited about what the future of the football club looks like. And the imminent future, which I'll be involved in, we feel will be a successful one.

"(Football) gives great structure in my life... I feel like next year could be a really fruitful year for us and I really want to be a part of that.

"And ultimately, I love playing footy, that's pretty much the crux of it. I feel like I can still play at the top level and there's nothing like going out and kicking the ball in front of the Tiger faithful at the MCG."

Riewoldt said he was proud to be a one-club player.

"That's really important to me," he said.

"I'll be glad to be finishing up as a Tiger and I'll forever hold that as a badge of honour."

Riewoldt sits second on Richmond’s all time games record holder list and is one of just five Tigers to have achieved the 300-game feat.

The contract extension puts Riewoldt (755 goals) within reach of Kevin Bartlett (778) and Matthew Richardson (800) in second and third on the Club’s all-time goal kicking ranks.
