Noah Balta

After seven seasons and more than 100 games, Balta is now one of Richmond’s more experienced players.
The key defender, who can also be thrown forward, battled away manfully in 2024 in a tough campaign for the Tigers.
He is now the central figure in defence for the club.
Balta, who played in the 2020 premiership, last year signed a seven-year contract extension tying him to the club until 2032.
