Richmond livewire Robin Nahas has been elevated to the Club’s senior list, replacing Kane Johnson.
Johnson injured his knee during the NAB Cup match against Collingwood and has been placed on the long term injury list.
After arriving at the Club via pick eight in the 2008 Rookie Draft, Nahas made an immediate impact on the training track, eventually earning a place in the Tigers’ NAB Cup opener against Fremantle.
The 21-year-old kicked a goal in that match, before playing in the next two NAB series matches against Collingwood and St Kilda.
He has since booted eight goals in two practice match appearances for Richmond’s VFL affiliate, Coburg.
The small forward is renowned for his tackling and goalkicking nous, after his 50-goal performance for Port Melbourne in the VFL last season, which earned him the league’s best young player award.
Nahas is the second Richmond rookie to be elevated so far this season, after ruckman Andrew Browne replaced Kayne Pettifer for a round one debut.
