The 30-year-old played six seasons with Richmond's AFL side, before taking on the new role as VFL captain in 2018.

Morris, whose father Kevin was a dual Richmond premiership player, said it was "a big honour" to be selected as leader for the second consecutive year.
"I've been around the footy club for a long time through dad's connection, then through my playing connection," he said.
"(They’re a) great bunch of boys and I'm pretty happy to be leading them in 2019 again."
The news of Morris’ re-election was announced on Friday night at the group’s pre-season camp, with the boys gathering around their skipper to congratulate him.
As the VFL Tigers look towards the 2019 season after finishing as minor premiers last year, Morris remarked on both the strong work ethic and mateship within the side.
“It’s a great environment that Fly (Craig McRae) has set up, and Fages (VFL Football Operations Manager, Anthony Fagan), it’s a credit to them and it’s great to be a part of,” he said.
"We just want to put out a competitive performance every week.

"The last couple of years we’ve been really competitive, I think that’s really helped our AFL team become better, and helped the confidence of young players on our AFL list because they’re coming back and playing in teams that are really thriving."
Morris cited recruit Jonathon Marsh, who has arrived at Tigerland after two seasons in the WAFL and a three-year AFL stint at Collingwood, as one to watch in 2019.
"Just having a chat to him and hearing him talk to the boys... it’s really clear he’s as determined as ever to have his best year of footy yet," Morris said.
Richmond’s VFL side will kick-start 2019 with a Friday night match against Geelong on April 5.
