RICHMOND forward Tyrone Vickery is attracting “additional interest” to that of Hawthorn as he weighs up his playing future.

Vickery, a restricted free agent, has been linked to a move to the Hawks for some time and considered likely to land at Waverley but his manager Scott Lucas says a deal isn’t over the line.

While Lucas admits it has been no secret Vickery has been exploring possible interest from rival clubs, no decision has been made.

“It’s something we’ve worked through with him for quite a period of time and we’ll strongly explore those options for him,” he said.

“Papers have been very specific (with Hawthorn), I think it’s more broad than that right at this stage in terms of interest for him. So we’ll work through that.

“There is additional interest there.”

Vickery did not attend Richmond’s best and fairest but Lucas told Trade Radio that was not an indication he had already decided to leave Punt Rd.

The much maligned Tiger was cleared to head off on an overseas holiday as soon as his team’s season ended so he could see his wife, Australian tennis player Arina Rodionova who was in the US for the US Open.

“He’s still weighing up the options,” Lucas said.
