Experienced Richmond duo Daniel Jackson and Shane Tuck are the latest Tigers to agree to terms on new deals with the club.

The re-signings come hot on the heels of Matt Dea, Jeromey Webberley, Andrew Browne and Jake Batchelor all committing their immediate futures to the Tigers this week.

Tuck, 30, appeared to have a battle on his hands to retain a spot on Richmond's list beyond this year after spending a lot of time in the VFL.

But the veteran proved his worth by averaging almost 20 touches in his 10 senior appearances in 2011 which mainly came in the second half of the season.

Richmond football manager Craig Cameron outlined the importance of Jackson and Tuck re-signing with the club.

"In a week where we've announced the re-signings of several of our promising young players, it's also pleasing to confirm that Shane and Daniel - two of only six players at the club with more than 100 games' experience - have also re-committed to the Tigers," he said.

"The value they provide such a young playing list through their experience at the game's highest level, their strong bodies around the contest, and capacity to win their own ball, is something we certainly appreciate."

Jackson has played 104 games and Tuck has 140 matches under his belt after both made their debuts for the Tigers in 2004.

The pair have been consistent performers for the club in recent years with Jackson finishing second in the 2009 best-and-fairest count and Tuck recording four top-five finishes in the Jack Dyer Medal.
