Premiership Tiger Shaun Grigg has called time on his career, effective immediately.
The 31-year old totalled 214 AFL games after crossing from Carlton at the end of 2010,ย but hasn't gotten on the park this season due to knee and hip injuries.
He played a key role in the club's drought-breaking 2017 premiership as an unconventional back-up ruckman.
The midfielder was appreciative of his seven seasons in yellow and black.
โItโs been amazing to play 13 seasons of league football with two great clubs,โ Grigg toldย richmondfc.com.au.
โIโve loved my football journey, and feel incredibly grateful for the opportunity to play this great game.
โAlthough itโs difficult to make the decision to call time on my own career, it may give the Club a chance to provide someone else an opportunity.โ
Richmond general manager Neil Balme commended Grigg for his service to the club.
โShaun has been a wonderful contributor to our football club on and off the field,โ he said.
โWeโve loved the way heโs gone about his football โ always bringing a team-first attitude to the roles weโve asked him to play.
โHe brings a lot of fun to the Club, and has built great connections to his teammates, staff and coaches, and we will miss him.
โWe wish Shaun, his wife Sarah, and theirย two boys Sonny and Spencer all the best in their next chapter, and theyโll always be part of the Richmond family.โ
