Richmond has announced its extended squad ahead of the Gather Round clash against GWS this Sunday in the Barossa Valley.

The additions are headlined by ruckman Oliver Hayes-Brown, who will make his debut following a strong start to his 2026 VFL campaign.

Hayes-Brown, who stands at 208cm tall, has been with the Club for three seasons, joining as a Category B rookie after leaving behind his basketball career.

He has been promising at VFL level, namely nabbing 10 clearances, 23 disposals and 19 hitouts against St Kilda last weekend.
