Career highlights

Tyrone Vickery (born 31 May 1990) is an Australian rules footballer who plays for the Richmond Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL).

As a junior, Vickery represented Vic Metro in the NAB AFL Under-18 Championships and won All-Australian selection. Vickery's father is John Vickery, the boxing coach at Richmond who played four senior games for Collingwood.[2]

In 2011 Vickery played every game for Richmond and kicked 35 goals. An injury received pre-season cruelled his 2012 campaign, limiting him to only nine games. In 2013, however, he played 21 games, and kicked 27 goals, winning the Ian Stewart Medal in round 14. In Round 18, 2014, Vickery was suspended for four weeks for striking West Coast Eagles ruckman Dean Cox.

Vickery is contracted to the Tigers until the end of the 2016 season.[3]

He married professional tennis player Arina Rodionova in December 2015.[4]
