The 2010 Jack Dyer Medallist and Coleman Medal winner, Jack Riewoldt, has undergone successful finger surgery and is expected to make a quick recovery.

“Jack injured the tendon in the little finger on his left hand during the season and, under normal circumstances, would have been operated on as soon as the season was over,” said Richmond’s Football Operations Manager, Ross Monaghan.

“But, given he had the opportunity to make the trip to Ireland with the Australian team for the International Rules Series, the surgery was postponed until after that.

“He’s had a good result from the surgery and he’ll do all the running at training, along with the majority of ball work in the next few weeks, before resuming full training post-Christmas.”
