There's been a mysterious silence following Alex Rance's retirement from Richmond FC. Until now.
Rance had toyed with calling it quits in 2015 but Cotchin conceded he was still shocked by this month’s decision, which came as the star fullback made significant strides forward in his recovery from a knee injury that kept him out of the 2019 season, including the Tigers’ grand final win.“He’s really respectful of the culture that all of us have created here at the Richmond footy club, he’s really proud of that,” the skipper added.
“I am someone who will always give their best to what they commit to, and I’m proud of the time, energy and dedication that I’ve put towards my football career,” Rance said. “Now I feel is the right time for me to put the same time and energy into other areas of my life that need it, and to prioritise the more important things to me, such as my spiritual growth, my family and friends.”December 5 — Richmond releases a preseason injury update declaring Rance is “on track” in his recovery from ACL surgery and “looking really good for the preseason competition next year”.
