Pickering provides Riewoldt contract updateBy SEN
24 July 2018Jack Riewoldt’s manager has confirmed negotiations on a new Richmond deal are close to being finalised.
Riewoldt is in career best form for the reigning premiers, and is set to be rewarded with a new Tigers deal.
SEN Breakfast with Garry Lyon and Tim Watson can be heard Monday-Friday 6-9am, and you can subscribe to the podcast here.
“We are working with the club at the moment on trying to finalise Jack,” Pickering told SEN Breakfast.
“(He is contracted) until the end of next year, yeah (we would lock him up for another three years).
“I know exactly what he is worth, I won’t talk about it though.
“We are very very close.
“The reality is, in a premiership team, you can’t have everyone getting 1.2 million.
“If he was to leave and go elsewhere, which he is not, a club would be mad not to throw a bucket of money at him.
“They’ve already re-signed Alex Rance, Jack, Trent Cotchin is not far away, Dustin Martin is obviously done.
“All those guys would be taking a little bit unders than what they’re considered on the open market.”
