DUAL-premiership Tiger Josh Caddy has retired, effective immediately.

Caddy, 29, played in both the 2017 and 2019 premierships as a forward/midfielder, then as a winger.

But he has managed just 17 games across the past three seasons between injury issues and falling out of favour, and none this year as he battled a hamstring injury.

He played 174 total games, starting his career with 24 games for Gold Coast in 2011-12, then 71 for Geelong between 2013 and 2016.

Caddy’s trade to Richmond at the end of that season proved fruitful, playing a key role in the Tigers’ breakthrough 2017 premiership in his first year and going on to play 79 games and boot 88 goals.
