TIGERS LOCK IN YOUNGSTER​

RICHMOND has rewarded Josh Gibcus with a new deal on the eve of the season after an impressive pre-season by the young key defender.

The 22-year-old entered 2026 out-of-contract but has now signed a three-year contract extension.

Gibcus is now locked in at Punt Road until he becomes a free agent in 2029.

The Ballarat product has long been viewed as a crucial long-term puzzle piece at Richmond, despite enduring a nightmare injury run since his debut season.

Gibcus played 18 games in 2022 after being selected at pick No.9 in 2021, but didn't play for 18 months due to a complex hamstring injury, before rupturing his ACL in his second game back in 2024.

After a slow build in 2025 and a big block in the VFL, Gibcus played the final game of last season to build momentum into the pre-season.

Now the 196cm key defender is well prepared to start 2026 in Richmond's back six against Carlton on Thursday night. – Josh Gabelich
