Ex-Tiger looking for love on reality TVHerald Sun
October 31, 2019 7:30pmEx-Richmond forward Todd Elton has joined a list of former Tigers to try their luck at reality television.
And he’s looking for love.
Elton, who played 10 games for Richmond from 2012-17, joined the cast of Love Island on Wednesday night.
“I’m Todd, I’m 26, from Melbourne and I’m an ex-AFL player,” Elton said upon his arrival.

The 26-year-old joins ex-teammate Shaun Hampson as Tigers to feature on reality TV this year after the ruckman was a fan favourite on Australia Survivor.
Michael Laffey, who played 26 VFL-AFL games for Richmond from 1987-90 was a contestant on The Mole in 2001 and was revealed at the end of the Australian version of the series to be the mole, committing 10 sabotages throughout the show.
Dan Foley is the other former Richmond player (13 games from 1983-85) to feature on reality TV, cast on The Block in 2016.
