Tigers lock in Dustin Martin to new deal

STAR Richmond midfielder Dustin Martin has re-signed with the Tigers in a deal that ties the 23-year-old to the club until the end of 2017.
 
The decision will be a relief to club officials given the difficulties Richmond had re-signing him when he was out of contract at the end of 2013.
 
At that time, Martin signalled his intention to field offers from other clubs, and went as far as touring Greater Western Sydney's facilities, before finally agreeing to a two-year deal with the Tigers.
 
Richmond's general manager of football Dan Richardson told richmondfc.com.au Martin was a pivotal player in the Tigers' plans for the future.
 
"Dustin’s development, both on and off the field, has been extremely impressive, and it’s exciting to think that at just 23, he still has scope for significant further improvement.
 
"Following a strong pre-season, we look forward to seeing him take another key step in his league career in 2015."
 
Martin, who is regarded as one of the game's best young midfielder/forwards, said he was rapt to get the deal done.
 
He was pleased negotiations had happened without publicity and he could play football for the next three years without having to think about his future.
 
"The club's been massive for me. They have obviously been a massive part of my life since I was 18. They have taught me a lot about life and a lot about footy as well," Martin said.
 
"We're all in this together so we certainly want to stay together and finish it off."
 
He has been placed in the top three in the Tigers' best and fairest in three of the past four seasons and showed his brilliance in one-on-one contests inside 50 throughout 2014.
 
His signature means attention will turn to defender Alex Rance who becomes a free agent at the end of 2015.
 
Rance remains unsigned and has signalled he is happy for the season to progress before he considers entering into negotiations.

* I’m rapt to be honest.  Glad we got it all done and don’t have to worry about it now for another few year. I couldn’t be happier. It was something 'Ralphy' (Ralph Carr) my manager and the Club did well.  They kept it quiet and got it done, so it was really good on both ends.

WP please. All you said was that they're both going to resign or something along those lines, anybody could've said that. Look at you gloating now, WP please stop.. begging you to please spare us

I could've said the same thing you did and be praised by the numptys on here but I'm better than that.

[the claw]

good news he has signed with out all the fuss of last time. but i suppose i have to be the one to rain on the parade  .

 only a two yr contract. why? surely the club offered a longer deal. i  would have thought  with martin now well and truly established and 23yrs old a 4 or 5 yr deal to be appropriate.most players chase security seems martin is happy with two yr deals gotta be a reason for that.

maybe the reason is if we dont go anywhere in the next two yrs at 25 26 yrs old martin will be well placed to go where he can get some success on a big contract.

ah theres always a downside.

He would have been crazy to sign for longer.  After 2 years he is a restricted FA and his value would skyrocket.  It would be his manager that would have said two years max.

for gods sake man, im trying my damdest to find negatives with this and your raining on my parade. so bugger off will ya.  .

Resuming serious transmission, he has signed for a further 2 years on top of this season so in effect he is with us for another 3 years.  Would suit both parties I reckon.
