Richmond captain Trent Cotchin has signed a contract extension, which will see him remain a Tiger until at least the end of the 2015 season.

Cotchin was due to come out of contract at the end of this season, but the Club recently moved to extend his stay at Tigerland for another two years.

“I’m very excited.  The Club’s going somewhere, and I want to be a part of the success that all involved with the Tigers crave,” Cotchin said.

“We want to keep this young group together over the next period of our careers.”

Richmond General Manager of Football, Dan Richardson, said the Club was pleased to extend Cotchin’s contract for another two years.

“It’s a fantastic result to have our captain extend his contract until the end of 2015. This underlines his commitment to helping the team achieve success. We hope that this leads to a number of our other key players extending their contracts in the coming months,” Richardson said.

“Trent has slotted into the captaincy role really well, and we look forward to him building on his football and leadership from here.”

Cotchin has played 94 games for Richmond since making his AFL debut in 2008.

At the end of the 2012 season, the 23-year-old became the youngest Tigers captain in over 100 years, when he took over from Chris Newman.

His honour roll to date includes two Jack Dyer Medals (2011 and 2012), a second place finish in the Brownlow Medal in 2012, and All-Australian selection in 2012.
