The Sydney Swans can confirm forward Xavier Richards has requested a trade.

Richards, 23, now in his fourth season, played ten games for the Club this season for a career total of 12 matches. 

Swans Head of Football Tom Harley says the Club will continue to work with Xavier’s manager.

“We’ve been in discussions with Xavier’s management through the back end of the year and to this point we haven’t been able to come to terms,” Harley said.

“We will work with Xavier and his management to find a mutually beneficial outcome.”
