3 March 2023RICHMOND has bolstered its recruiting department on the eve of the 2023 season by adding former Northern Knights talent manager Rhy Gieschen.
Gieschen will join Tigers GM of football talent Blair Hartley and national recruiting manager Matt Clarke at Punt Road.
After starting his career at AFL Victoria and then joining the NAB League for five seasons, Gieschen has spent the past couple of seasons working as Melbourne Grammar's director of football.
Gieschen has also worked for the AFL Coaches' Association under CEO Alistair Nicholson, where he led the Tackle Your Feelings mental health program.
It is understood that Gieschen will fill the spot left by Will Thursfield after the former Tiger was poached by North Melbourne in December to join Brady Rawlings and Scott Clayton at Arden Street.
Gieschen also coached Melbourne Grammar's First XVIII in the APS competition, where Hawthorn trio Josh Ward, Ned Long and Max Ramsden were recently recruited from, as well as West Coast's first-round pick Campbell Chesser and young Saint Jack Peris.
Gieschen will commence his new role at the Swinburne Centre on March 13.
