Shai Bolton will sign a new contract at @Richmond_FC He’d put talks on hold at start of year and there’d been rival interest, but he will formalise a new deal shortly.

Interesting - I think most ouldve thought he was gonski back to WA
-
Guess will have to find something else to give Freo for Cerra :shh.
Like to see us play him of half-back(with stints up foward and on ball) and be the Yarran we never got to see ...:shh :shh
-
AT the courageous is correct once again :shh
-
He must not have had any takers, but having said that, you can still trade a player with a contract.

I'd suggest he/his manager has worked out that careers can disappear overnight if you play things the wrong way. Just ask Ted Richards brother. Think he had a reality check.
Checked himself before he wrecked himself. Now to turn him into an AFL footballer
-
Got next to no interest from Freo, I know that much.
-
Great news and hope he does sign...the kid can seriously play :shh
-
Great news. He is only 19 and will get better.

Conca and a pair of Ellis’s :shh :rollin :shh

Shai to stay: Manager expects Tiger to re-sign

RICHMOND small forward Shai Bolton appears set to remain a Tiger, with his manager claiming confirmation of a new deal is imminent.
The 19-year-old, who is sidelined with a knee injury, put contract talks on hold at the start of the season.
However, his manager Ralph Carr says an extension to keep the West Australian at Punt Road is nearly formalised.
"Shai Bolton is going to re-sign with Richmond," Carr told News Corporation.
"It hasn't been announced yet, but it will be, and that's great news for the kid."
Bolton has been linked to North Melbourne and Adelaide in recent months, and there have always been suggestions he was interested in returning to his home state.
Yet despite limited AFL opportunities this season with Jack Higgins moving ahead of him in the small forward pecking order, he appears set to stay in the yellow and black.
"Richmond is where he should be, and I've said that to him all year," Carr said.
Bolton has played six AFL matches since he was drafted in the second round of the 2016 NAB AFL Draft.
He is expected to push for selection in the VFL finals team should it progress beyond this week's semi-final against Essendon.

Hahahaha :snidegrin
I’m a bit sick of Carr telling the media he tell his clients “Richmond is the best fit” them, but ensures they put contract talks on hold.
-
Great news. Has a lot of talent and has the x factor.
-
JUST IN from @Nick_Bowen : http://AFL.com.au has reported via manager Ralph Carr that Shai Bolton has re-signed with @Richmond_FC.

Tiger signs on because he 'loves the club'

RICHMOND has retained one of its most exciting young talents after re-signing small forward Shai Bolton.
In March, the uncontracted West Australian put talks for a new deal on hold until the end of the season, sparking fears he could depart Punt Road.
However, Bolton's manager, Ralph Carr, told AFL.com.au on Wednesday his client had finalised a new deal with the Tigers, but preferred not to divulge the length of contract.
"We're excited to re-sign, Shai was always going to because he loves the club," Carr said.
"We put talks on hold until the end of the year but that was more so Shai could concentrate on his football and developing his game.
"He loves the club, loves the facilities – Richmond has the best indigenous facilities in the AFL – and he can't wait to return for the pre-season."
Taken with pick No.29 in the 2016 NAB AFL Draft, Bolton played six games in a highly promising debut season.
The 19-year-old played just three games this year because of injury, form and Richmond's settled senior line-up, but his speed, goal sense and defensive pressure suggests he has a bright future.
Bolton's re-signing is a coup for Richmond, which is poised to lose valuable depth with Reece Conca, Sam Lloyd, Corey Ellis, Anthony Miles, Jacob Townsend and Tyson Stengle all expected to depart in the upcoming player exchange period.
However, the Tigers are set to land this year's biggest free agency prize, with former Gold Coast captain Tom Lynch nominating Punt Road as his preferred new home on Tuesday.

Young livewire forward Shai Bolton will remain at Tigerland in 2019, after re-committing to the Club today.
The 19-year-old, WA-product has shown glimpses of his skill, speed, and smarts around goal in his first two seasons of league football.
Bolton played three senior games this year, as injuries marred part of his 2018 campaign, as well as being edged out at the selection table with strong competition from Richmond’s other small forwards.
“We’re really pleased for Shai to sign on with us for next season, he’s a talented player and a good young man,” Richmond’s General Manager – Football, Neil Balme said.
“With another full pre-season under his belt, we’re really excited for Shai to continue his development.”
Bolton was drafted to the Tigers with selection 29 of the 2016 AFL Draft, and has played nine senior games and kicked four goals in his first two seasons.

I think a one year deal is good for both parties.
Good on him for having another crack at it.
I hope it works out for all of us including Shai.
-
Yep, it might have been us who wanted to offer only a year. 2019 is a make or break year for Bolts. He needs to focus over the preseason on doing the bread and butter things in footy consistently and well if he wants to break into the senior side on a regular basis.
-
Play him on a wing! :banghead

Exactly

Score another one for AT :clapping

Agree...back himself in for a big year and a chance at a long term contract. Can play :shh
-

In the 2’s

I think he should be played on the wing in the unos for an extended period.
With all the deslitings something is a foot or an ankle
-
I heard from a reliable source that Carr had told Shai he was worth $500K at the start of the year. Balme told Carr that they wouldn't renew his contract at that level and thus they both agreed to wait until the end of the year. I think both Shai and Carr realised that this was over the top and were happy to sign on for a lot less. The club was happy to extend for just one year.... :shh
-
500k :lol
-
500k :lol
Yep, crazy

Typical Carr promises the a kid he is worth Maserati when all he is worth is at this point in his career is a Kia ;D
-
Interesting that we have only offered Bolton a 1year deal. Sounds like we are pretty uncertain about him making the grade.
If Carr really did tell the kid he was worth a lot more and cost him a longer term deal earlier in the season, then he had better pray that Bolton has a breakout season.
Because if he doesn't, it could end in tears for Shai.

Will be used with either Broad or McIntosh to trade for Cerra next year... :shh
