In the last of our off-season special series, Richmond’s VFL coach Tim Clarke assesses the 2013 form and future prospects of young Tiger midfielder Cadeyn Williams.

 

Cadeyn Williams profile

Born:  4/8/94

Height:  186cm

Weight:  86kg

Recruited from:  Cobram (Vic)/Murray Bushrangers TAC Cup team

Draft history:  Selected by Richmond at pick 40 overall in the 2013 rookie draft

 

Tim Clarke says:  “Cadeyn had an impact early, in the VFL practice games and during the first three rounds of the season, but was struck down with a shoulder injury, which sidelined him for the rest of the year.

He started as an inside ‘mid’, with the plan being to rest him forward.  However, limited game time, due to injury, never allowed us to try this plan out with him.

Cadeyn has already started training and will be looking to a big pre-season to give him the best chance to hold down a midfield role at VFL level.”
