Richmond star Shai Bolton is pleading for his premiership medals to be returned to him after they were stolen last year.

Bolton has been left devastated by the theft of both his 2019 and 2020 premiership medals, which were taken on December 18 when his Malvern home was broken into.

The All-Australian was away in Perth at the time, and a Police Burglary Report was made.

Bolton said he hoped whoever stole the medals would be able to return them.

“It is very saddening to have items as cherished as my premiership medals taken this way,” he added.

“If anyone has any information about where they could be or that could help towards them being returned, it would mean a lot to me and my family.”

The Richmond Football Club is calling for whoever has the medals to return them to the Club, and for anyone who has any information to come forward.
