Richmond midfielder Dustin Martin has agreed to a new contract with Richmond.

Martin has committed to a further two seasons at the Club, ensuring he will remain a Tiger until at least the end of 2015.

“We have always considered Dustin a required player at Richmond, and we are pleased he has re-committed to the Club,” said Richmond’s General Manager of Football, Dan Richardson.

“We have been encouraged by the way Dustin has developed as a footballer, and a person, in his time at Richmond.

“We now look forward to Dustin having another strong pre-season and continuing his improvement in 2014 and beyond.”

Martin is coming off the most consistent season of his four-year AFL career. He played every game for the Tigers this season, taking his career tally to 86, and averaged 24.2 disposals per match, racking up 30 or more touches on six occasions.

“I want to thank the Richmond Football Club and it supporters for being so patient during these negotiations,” Martin said.

“My family and I are grateful for the manner in which Ralph Carr has represented me. 

"I am now looking forward to doing everything possible to help the Club and my teammates have the success we all crave.”

Martin was ranked No. 2 in the competition for score involvements, behind Collingwood’s Dane Swan, with an average of nine per game.

He was ranked No. 1 at Richmond for total kicks (382), plus uncontested possessions (403), and No. 2 for total disposals (557).

For the third consecutive season, he scored more than 20 goals (23 in total), taking his career tally to 90.

And, Martin was the Tigers’ second-highest vote-getter in the 2013 Brownlow Medal (behind Trent Cotchin), with 16 votes.
