Richmond defender Nathan Broad has re-signed at Punt Road through to the end of the 2026 season.
The decision from the Western Australian, who was already contracted for next year, comes in the same week it was revealed that North Melbourne had shown interest in the triple premiership Tiger.
The extension will take Broad into an 11th season in the yellow and black, giving the 31-year-old plenty of opportunity to add to his 145 career games with Richmond.
โNathan has become an excellent leader at our football club and has been a consistent performer for us for a long period,โ Richmond talent manager Blair Hartley said.
โHe sets high standards, is hard working, brings great energy to his teammates and is a player that the boys love playing with each week.
โWe are delighted that he has committed for another year and look forward to seeing him continue to contribute at a high level for the coming seasons.โ
Broad debuted with the Tigers in 2016 after being drafted the year prior out of Swan Districts, with the 192cm stopper playing two games in his maiden campaign.
He has since played at least 10 games in every season across his career, three of which ended with grand final victories.
The veteran defender has played 19 games this year, averaging 14.05 disposals, 6.32 marks and 3.32 rebound 50s per game.
The Tigers still have several contract calls to come over the next couple of months, with Liam Baker, Dion Prestia, Dylan Grimes, Jack Graham and Kamdyn McIntosh, among others, still unsigned for 2025.
