Richmond midfielder Thomson Dow will return for a fifth season at the Club after putting pen to paper on a new one-year deal for 2024.

The 21-year-old was a strong contributor across the final three AFL matches this season, averaging 21.3 disposals and four tackles, including a career-best 27 touches against Port Adelaide in the last round.

Dow received a coaches vote for the standout performance, which included 13 contested possessions and six clearances.

The 184cm athletic midfielder's recall had been well deserved after stellar form playing in the VFL for most of the season.

Dow has played 17 senior games for the Tigers since being selected with the Club's first pick, No. 21 overall at the 2019 AFL Draft.

Richmond General Manager- Football Talent Blair Hartley said Dow's encouraging late-season form should give him great confidence coming into the 2024 season.

"It was pleasing to see Thomson play some really strong football when given an opportunity late in the year, which is a reward for the hard work he has put in over the past four years," Hartley said.

"Thomson has a skill set that can add something to our midfield mix, and through this extension, we look forward to seeing him continue to grow next season.

“We are delighted to be keeping Thomson at Richmond.”

The extension will see him enter a sixth campaign with the Club.
