\n Ben Miller has extended his contract for an additional season.\n <\/p>\n
Important Richmond defender Ben Miller has committed further to the Club, putting pen to paper on a one-year contract extension through to the end of 2027.<\/p>\n
The fresh deal will take the 195cm key defender to a decade at the Club, having been recruited with pick No. 63 overall at the 2017 AFL National Draft.<\/p>\n
Miller had to wait until the final round of his fourth season to make his AFL debut, but has since developed into a staple of Adem Yze\u2019s first-choice defence.<\/p>\n
The 26-year-old played every game in 2025, often shutting down the opposition’s best tall forward in a campaign that saw him finish a career-high fourth in the Jack Dyer Medal.<\/p>\n
Miller also played 21 of the 23 games, taking his career tally to 69 matches.<\/p>\n
His breakout year saw him rank #1 at Richmond for marks, one percenters, and disposal efficiency, as well as #3 for intercepts and contested marks.<\/p>\n
The calming presence in defence has also shown throughout his career that he can play up forward or in the ruck if required.<\/p>\n
Richmond Executive General Manager, Football Talent, Blair Hartley, said Miller had thoroughly deserved the contract extension.<\/p>\n
\u201cBen had an outstanding season in 2025 and has taken his game to a new level,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe is a leader of our group and is still improving his game, which is really exciting for us.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are looking forward to seeing what Ben can continue to produce across the next two seasons and beyond, and how it will help us as a team.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ben Miller has extended his contract for an additional season.
