Talented Richmond forward Chris Knights has announced that he will retire from AFL football at the end of the season.
A series of persistent injuries, which have cruelled the 28-year-old’s time at Tigerland, were the catalyst for his decision.
He told the Club’s playing group of his retirement decision at the ME Centre earlier today.
Knights is the third Richmond player to announce his retirement in as many weeks, following veterans Chris Newman and Nathan Foley.
“It’s a really sad ending for Chris. He has had horrible luck with injuries since he arrived at the Club, and it’s unfair for him to have to bow out in this fashion,” said Richmond’s General Manager of Football, Dan Richardson.
“While he spent a lot of time in ‘rehab’, he was a fine role model for the playing group with his determination and professionalism to overcome a number of significant injuries.
“He will be rightly remembered as highly-talented player, who stopped at nothing to get the best out of himself.”
