Richmond have sewn up 10 players, including vice-captain Chris Newman, for at least the 2009 AFL season.

Newman, 26, was the only one of the 10 aged over 25, with the other players to re-sign Kelvin Moore, Jack Riewoldt, Shane Edwards, Jay Schulz, Daniel Connors, Matthew White, Andrew Collins, Angus Graham and Jake King.

"We are investing long term in some sound talent and we are pleased that these players will be able to continue to grow and develop with the Richmond Football Club," football operations manager Craig Cameron, said.

Newman said the re-signings added to the optimism built by the Tigers' solid finish to the season.

"We are all really looking forward to next year, we finished the season very strongly by winning eight of our last 11 games," he said.

"We now have to build on those promising signs and consolidate our hard work."

The club plans to make further list changes after trade week.
